1943 Map of Pontiac North

About this map

The expanding northern limits of Pontiac during the early 1940s reveal a landscape transitioning from glacial lake country to a structured suburban and institutional hub. Large facilities such as the Pontiac State Hospital and Pontiac General Hospital anchor the city’s footprint, while the Grand Trunk Western railroad provides a heavy industrial spine. The map documents an era of residential growth in planned developments like La Salle Gardens, Huron Gardens, and Elizabeth Lake Estates, which began to fill the spaces between the city center and the numerous water bodies to the west.
