1968 Map of Armada

About this map

The North Branch Clinton River and Coon Creek define the agricultural and transit patterns of Macomb County in the late 1960s. The village of Armada serves as a central hub, situated along the Grand Trunk Western railroad and adjacent to the Fairground. This map illustrates a transition toward local aviation, featuring Romeo Airport, the Dodge Landing Field, and the Kunstman Landing Strip scattered among the grid of mile roads. Rural industry is represented by Wolcott Mills on the Clinton River and numerous gravel pits throughout the landscape.
