1962 Map of Clayton

About this map

Clayton and the surrounding townships of Hudson and Dover define this mid-century agricultural landscape in Lenawee County. The map reveals a dense network of water management features, such as the Bordine Drain and Deline Drain, which supported the productive farmland between the South Branch Raisin River and Stony Creek. This era shows the vital role of rail transport, with the New York Central and Wabash lines intersecting the countryside near smaller communities like North Morenci and Canandaigua.
