1968 Map of Marine City
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
The St Clair River corridor in the late 1960s was a landscape defined by its international waterway and an active energy industry. At Marine City, the confluence of the Belle River and the larger St. Clair is marked by dense residential development, the Holy Cross Ch, and various docks along the channel. To the west and south, the geography shifts toward specialized extraction, shown by the China Belle Oil and Gas Field and the Cottrellville Oil and Gas Field, indicating a rural economy built on more than just agriculture. The map also records the recreational and transit infrastructure of the era, from the sprawling riverside grounds of Algonac State Park to the Marine City Airport and the rail line of the Port Huron and Detroit RR serving the riverfront communities.
