1952 Map of New Haven

About this map

Lake St Clair and Anchor Bay define the southern edge of this Macomb County landscape, where the Salt River and numerous agricultural drains such as Pelter Drain and Omo Drain empty into the basin. The settlement pattern is characterized by small communities like New Haven and New Baltimore linked by the Grand Trunk Western railroad and historical thoroughfares like Gratiot Ave and the Old Indian Boundary. The map captures a transition between the northern rural township roads and the emerging suburban and military infrastructure of the early 1950s.
