1968 Map of New Baltimore

About this map

Anchor Bay and the northern reaches of Lake St Clair dominate this coastal survey, where the development of the Macomb and St. Clair county line meets the water. The shoreline is defined by established communities like New Baltimore, Anchorville, and Fair Haven, while the interior remains a blend of agricultural parcels and specialized industry. A Motor City Drag Strip sits inland, contrasting with the preservation of the St Clair Flats State Wildlife Area to the south. This era shows a landscape transitioning between its rural roots and growing recreational and industrial utility, evidenced by the Ira Gas Storage Field and several scattered gas and oil wells. The map captures the historic boundaries of the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, still influencing the modern road grid near Springborn Road. Local history is anchored by landmarks like Sacred Heart Cem and All Saints Ch.
