1942 Map of Stony Point

About this map

Lake Erie defines the eastern edge of this 1940 survey, where a string of shoreline communities like Woodland Beach, Detroit Beach, and Lagoon Beach demonstrate the mid-century development of the Michigan coast. The City of Monroe occupies the southwestern corner, anchored by the River Raisin and the Sterling State Park marshlands. Inland, the landscape is heavily influenced by the drainage network of Swan Creek, Stony Creek, and Sandy Creek, interspersed with a dense system of rural schools including Scrabble Hollow Sch, Loranger Sch, and Bomia Sch. Transport corridors dominate the interior, with the Michigan Central and Toledo Shore Line railroads running parallel to major arteries like Dixie Hy and Telegraph Rd. The map also captures local landmarks such as the Monroe Airport and the St Charles Cem, providing a detailed look at the township boundaries of Frenchtown, Berlin, and Monroe.
