About this map

New Haven serves as a central hub for this Macomb County landscape, where the Grand Trunk Western railroad and the Salt River define the local geography. The map reveals a transition from the agricultural interior, marked by rural landmarks like Lemmon Sch and Meade Ch, to the developing coastal communities along the northern reaches of Lake St Clair. The shoreline is characterized by planned residential pockets such as Lottivue, Anchor Bay Shores, and Chesterfield Shores, indicating significant mid-century suburban expansion.

Institutional and military presence is prominent, notably at the southern edge with the expansive Selfridge Air Force Base. The cartography also preserves the location of many family and community burial grounds, including St Marys Cem and Hart Cem, alongside local industry such as the Industrial Park near Chesterfield. This survey captures a mix of maritime leisure at Anchor Bay Harbor and the formal geometry of the Old Indian Treaty Bdy.
