1928 Map of Hicky

About this map

Lieut. Col. George A. Zinn of the Corps of Engineers directed this reconnaissance of St. Clair County, revealing a landscape defined by its vital watercourses and early twentieth-century rail network. The Belle River and Pine River meander through the southern half of the quadrangle, which is anchored by crossroads communities like Muttonville and Adair. This period of Michigan’s development is characterized by the convergence of major transit routes, including the Pere Marquette R. R. and the Grand Trunk R. R., which facilitated local commerce at stations such as Burns Sta and Smiths Creek.
