1969 Map of Flint North

About this map

Flint and Mount Morris dominate this urban corridor during a period of significant mid-century expansion. The landscape is defined by its industrial and civic infrastructure, from the sprawling Grand Trunk Western and Chesapeake and Ohio rail networks to the emergence of Interstate 475. The map captures a high density of neighborhood institutions, including Beecher High Sch, Sacred Heart Sch, and Northern High Sch. The eastern edge is shaped by water management and recreation at Genesee County Mott Lake and Kearsley Reservoir. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for numerous burial grounds like Gracelawn Cemetery, Avondale Cem, and the Assyrian Cem. Landmarks such as Atwood Stadium, the Sloan Museum, and the IMA Auditorium highlight the city's cultural heart at this moment in its history.
