1952 Map of St. Clair

About this map

The St Clair River serves as the central artery for this international border region in the early 1950s, dividing Michigan from Ontario and connecting the Great Lakes shipping lanes. Along the western bank, the city of St Clair shows a developed waterfront where the Pine River and Belle River meet the main channel. The landscape is dotted with early educational and religious landmarks, including the Hathaway Sch and several prominent burial grounds like Hillside Cem and St Marys Cem. Across the water, the Ontario shoreline features the small settlements of Mooretown and Courtright tucked between Baby Creek and the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. This survey also captures the recreational character of the area, noting the St Clair River Country Club and the Pine Shore Golf Course, alongside the residential growth spreading inland from the river towards Hawthorne.
