About this map

The growing urban footprint of Flint and Burton expands southward toward Grand Blanc in the late 1960s, a period marked by the arrival of regional commercial hubs and infrastructure. Notable developments like the Bishop Airport and the Dort Mall Shopping Center indicate a shift toward automobile-centric commerce, while the Grand Trunk Western and Chesapeake and Ohio railroads continue to define the industrial corridors.

Beyond the suburban reach, the landscape transitions into the rural townships of Mundy and Grand Blanc. Here, the map reveals a dense network of local schools and churches, including Holy Redeemer Sch and Halsey Ch, alongside several significant burial grounds such as Evergreen Cem and Crestwood Memorial Gardens. Water features like Thread Lake and Case Lake anchor the natural topography amidst the expanding grid of residential and industrial development.
