About this map

The Raisin River flows through the heart of Monroe, Michigan, serving as the central axis for this early 1940s landscape. This survey by H. E. Simmons and H. W. Toy illustrates a city well-integrated with its industrial and institutional surroundings, featuring a dense network of schools like Waterloo Sch and the extensive grounds of St Marys Academy. The era's transportation infrastructure is particularly prominent, with the Michigan Central and New York Central railroads converging near the city center, alongside the Detroit and Toledo Shore Line running parallel to the coast.
