About this map

The Clinton River and its various branches, including the Middle Branch and North Branch, anchor a landscape transitioning from agricultural drains to suburban density in Macomb County. This late-1960s environment shows intense residential development spreading through Warren, Roseville, and Sterling Heights. The infrastructure of the period is prominent, with the Grand Trunk Western railroad corridor and major thoroughfares like Gratiot Ave and Metropolitan Parkway facilitating rapid growth.

Genealogists and local historians can find a high density of civic landmarks, from established burial grounds like Resurrection Cemetery and the Russian Orthodox Cem to numerous parochial and public schools, such as St Marys High Sch and Chippewa Valley High Sch. The presence of Mc Kinley Airport and institutions like Macomb County Community College reflects the mid-century institutional expansion of the Mt Clemens area.
