1968 Map of New Baltimore

About this map

Anchor Bay dominates the coastline of this survey, where the border of Macomb and St. Clair counties meets the northern reaches of Lake St Clair. The settlement of New Baltimore marks the western edge, featuring a Sewage Disposal plant and a developed park system near Crapaud Creek. Moving east along the shoreline, the communities of Anchorville and Fair Haven are linked by a network of drainage systems like Meldrum Creek and Swan Creek. The map documents a blend of recreation and utility, capturing the Motor City Drag Strip situated near the Ira Gas Storage Field and a Gas Processing Plant. To the south, the intricate marshlands of the St Clair Flats State Wildlife Area emerge, defined by the North Channel and the Dickinson Island Flats, illustrating the unique transitional landscape where the river system opens into the bay.
