1952 Map of Mt Clemens West

About this map

Mt Clemens serves as the focal point of this Macomb County landscape, where the North Branch Clinton River joins the main stem of the Clinton River before winding toward Lake St Clair. The postwar suburban expansion is visible in the grid of mile roads, including Nineteenmile Road and Fourteenmile Road, cutting through the remaining wetlands of Cranberry Marsh. Aviation history is represented by the presence of both Mc Kinley Airport and Joy Airport, serving the growing population centers of Fraser and Roseville. Local genealogists will find an exceptional concentration of burial grounds, notably the cluster of Hebrew Memorial Park, Lincoln Memorial Cemetery, and the Workmen Circle Cem. The Grand Trunk Railway corridor anchors the industrial and transportation spine of the region, passing through the heart of the developed city limits.
