About this map

Mt Clemens serves as the focal point of this late 1920s survey, situated where the Clinton River meets the western edge of Lake Saint Clair. The landscape reveals a transition from the developing suburban grid of Saint Clair Shores and Roseville in the south to the more traditional rural townships of Macomb and Lenox to the north. A significant military presence is established at Selfridge Field, occupying a prominent position on the shoreline of Anchor Bay.

Genealogists will find a detailed distribution of localized community landmarks, from the St Johns Cem and St Pauls Lutheran Sch to numerous numbered schoolhouses like School No 10 and School No 1. The transportation network is defined by the Grand Trunk Railroad and Michigan Central Railroad, which support inland settlements like New Haven and Fraser. Waterways such as the North Branch Clinton River and Cady Drain illustrate the natural and engineered drainage systems of this coastal Macomb County region.
