1946 Map of Utica

About this map

Utica and the surrounding borderlands of Oakland and Macomb counties appear here during the mid-1940s, a period defined by the convergence of agricultural traditions and the expanding transportation networks of Southeast Michigan. The Michigan Central and Grand Trunk Western railroads anchor the industrial and transit corridor, while the Central Canal and Clinton River navigate the lowlands. Local genealogy is well-represented through numerous rural education and burial sites, including Ewell Sch, Andrews Sch, and the Stony Creek Cem.
