About this map

The St Clair River serves as the international boundary and central artery for this mid-century survey, dividing St Clair, Michigan, from the Ontario settlements of Mooretown and Courtright. The Michigan side exhibits a dense network of local schools and landmarks, including the Hathaway Sch, Red Brick Sch, and the St Clair River Country Club. These institutions are connected by a grid of named rural roads such as Puttygut Road and Yankee Road, reflecting a well-established riverfront community.

Across the water in the townships of Moore and Sombra, the landscape is defined by the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad line running parallel to the shore. Small rail stops and hamlets like Watson Sta and Bickford dot the Canadian side, while the river itself is marked by distinctive features such as Stag Island and the mouth of the Pine River, emphasizing the era's reliance on both rail and water for regional transit.
