1952 Map of Waldenburg

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Waldenburg and the surrounding townships of Washington, Macomb, and Sterling appear here in a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainage ditches and the meandering Middle Branch Clinton River. This 1952 survey, mapped during the tenure of State Highway Commissioner CHARLES M. ZIEGLER, illustrates a rural Michigan crossroads economy transitioning toward modernization. The map reveals a high density of local educational institutions, ranging from the Lutheran Sch and St Peters Sch to several already marked as defunct, such as the Warner Sch (Abandoned). Small agricultural hubs like Davis, Meade, and Preston Corners anchor the grid of section-line roads, including Romeo Plank Road and Schoenherr Road. The naming conventions of the many artificial waterways, such as the Feiblecorn Drain and Heida Drain, offer significant clues for genealogists researching the land-owning families of the early 1950s.
