About this map

The village of Armada serves as the focal point of this late-1960s survey of Macomb County, situated along the Grand Trunk Western railroad. This region is characterized by a dense network of agricultural drainage systems, including the Coon Creek and Farley Drain, which supported the productive farmland of Bruce and Armada townships. The landscape reflects a mix of traditional industry and emerging transportation, where the historic Wolcott Mills stands near modern aviation facilities like Romeo Airport and the Dodge Landing Strip.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community landmarks, such as the Bruce and Armada Cem and Little Zion Ch. The area along the North Branch Clinton River includes recreational and community sites like Cascade Lake and Camp Rotary, while the grid of numbered section roads, from 34 Mile Road to 29 Mile Road, provides a precise framework for locating ancestral property and vanished farmsteads.
