1967 Map of Stony Point

About this map

The shoreline of Lake Erie defines the character of this Michigan map, where the coastal lowlands meet the industrialized mouth of the Raisin River. This survey captures a transitional landscape of seasonal cottages and permanent residential developments at Woodland Beach and Detroit Beach, contrasted with the specialized infrastructure of the Enrico Fermi Powerplant at Stony Point. Further inland, the map preserves the mid-century footprint of small agricultural communities like Oldport, served by a dense network of drains such as Malosh Drain and Swan Creek. The presence of the Verona Fathers Seminary and the Old St Charles Cem provides specific points of interest for genealogists tracing the religious and social history of Berlin Township and Frenchtown Township. The transportation corridors of the Penn Central Railroad and the Toledo Freeway highlight the region's role as a vital link between major Great Lakes hubs.
