1936 Map of St. Clair

About this map

The St Clair River corridor in the mid-1930s reveals a landscape defined by its international border and the convergence of rail and water transport. Stretching from St Clair south toward Hawthorne, the shoreline shows a distinct pattern of development including the St Clair River Country Club and the Pine Shore Golf Course. The Detroit and Port Huron State Hy parallels the river, anchoring a network of rural roads like Puttygut Rd and Recor Rd that connect the interior farmsteads. Local education and faith are deeply rooted in the landscape, evidenced by the St Marys Ch and several rural schoolhouses including the Red Brick Sch, Hathaway Sch, and North Sch. The map also captures the industrial and natural character of the river, with the Pine River and Belle River feeding into the main channel near Stag Island.
