1936 Map of Mt Clemens

About this map

The Clinton River and its various branches, including the Middle Branch and North Branch, carve through this Macomb County landscape just before the mid-century suburban expansion. The city of Mt Clemens serves as the primary urban hub, while surrounding townships such as Erin and Warren are dotted with small settlements like Cady and Fraser. This 1936 survey, compiled from aerial photographs, illustrates a transition from rural drainage networks like the Kukuk Drain and Schulte Drain to the early leisure developments of the motor city era.
