About this map

Anchor Bay Harbor and the northern reaches of Lake St Clair dominate the southern half of this Macomb County landscape. The shoreline shows a high density of residential development in the late 1960s, particularly within Sebille Manor, Anchor Bay Shores, and Lottivue. Further inland, the Grand Trunk Western railroad corridor anchors the village of New Haven, where industrial activity is evidenced by a substation and tailings piles.

A transition toward larger-scale infrastructure is visible through the presence of the Lenox Gas Storage Field and a sprawling Industrial Park near Chesterfield. For those tracing family history, the map preserves the locations of numerous rural institutions such as the Meade Ch, Hart Cem, and several schoolhouses like Siefert Sch and Green Sch that served the farming communities before suburban expansion reached the Indian Treaty Boundary.
