About this map

The industrial and civic core of Genesee County is documented here as the city of Flint expands northward toward Mount Morris. This late 1960s landscape is defined by a dense network of neighborhood institutions, including St Marys Sch, Beecher High Sch, and Sacred Heart Sch, alongside large-scale medical facilities like McLaren Hospital and St Joseph Hospital. The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor anchors the industrial heart of the region, passing by McGrew Junction and numerous Gravel Pits.

Public recreation and civic life are prominent, with Atwood Stadium, the IMA Auditorium, and the Planetarium serving the growing population. The Flint River and Kearsley Reservoir provide geographic breaks in the urban grid, bordered by extensive green spaces like the Genesee Recreation Area and Forest Park. Notable for genealogists are the many established burial grounds, including Gracelawn Cemetery, Avondale Cem, and Assyrian Cem.
