About this map

Mt Clemens serves as the regional hub in this 1920s survey of Macomb County, where the winding Clinton River meets the waters of Anchor Bay. The landscape is transitioning from rural townships like Ray and Macomb to an increasingly modernized corridor, evidenced by the presence of a Radio Station and the industrial activity of a Sugar Mill. To the east, the shoreline of Lake Saint Clair is defined by residential growth and aviation history at Selfridge Field, situated near the marshy reaches of Belvidere Bay.

Transportation networks define the county's structure, with the Grand Trunk Railroad and major thoroughfares like Gratiot Avenue connecting established settlements such as New Haven and Fraser. Local life is recorded through a dense network of numbered schools and country churches, including St Pauls Lutheran Ch, while smaller hamlets like Waldenburg and Milton appear along the interior crossroads.
