1943 Map of Pontiac North

About this map

Pontiac anchors this 1941 landscape, a bustling city surrounded by a dense network of suburban developments and glacial lakes. The extensive grounds of the Pontiac State Hospital and County Homes define the transition between the urban core and the developing townships of Waterford and Orion. This era captures the region's mid-century expansion, evidenced by the numerous schoolhouses such as Weyer Sch and Malkim Sch dotting the outskirts of established centers like Drayton Plains.
