1968 Map of Mt Clemens West

About this map

Mt Clemens and its expanding western suburbs are captured here during a period of rapid post-war residential development, where new subdivisions and schools began to fill the gaps between established town centers. The Clinton River and its branches, including the Middle Branch and North Branch, anchor the landscape, winding past the Hillcrest Country Club and numerous large memorial parks. The transition from agricultural use to dense suburban housing is evident in the purple-tinted urban extensions that overlap older features like Cranberry Marsh.
