1968 Map of St. Clair

About this map

The St Clair River serves as the central artery for this international border region, separating the industrial and residential corridors of St Clair, Michigan, from the petroleum-rich landscapes of Ontario. In late 1960s Michigan, the city is characterized by established institutions like St Marys Church and the River District Hospital, with settlement patterns following the riverbank and arterial routes like Remer Road. Across the water in the townships of Moore and Sombra, the landscape is dominated by extractive industry, marked by numerous Oil Wells and Gas Wells that dot the countryside between Mooretown and Courtright. Transportation infrastructure is prominent on both shores, including the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad and the Detroit and Port Huron Belt Line, illustrating the heavy industrial and transit-oriented nature of this maritime boundary.
