Historic Map - Port Huron, MI - 1894
Description
This bird’s-eye view print of Port Huron, Michigan was drawn and published by C. J. Pauli, Beck & Pauli Lith. in 1894. Port Huron was settled along the St. Clair River in the 1840's.
The Lake Huron community maintained healthy lumber and shipbuilding industries in the early years. Later, it held important railroad shops of the Grand Trunk and Port Huron & Lake Michigan railroads.
The first oil to be commercially drilled in North America was at Oil Springs, near Sarnia, in 1858. This led to much activity and interest in the region. The Port Huron area survived major fires in 1871 and 1881.
The map includes labeled streets, waterways, buildings, bridges, port activities and railroad routes. An inset illustration depicts a continuation of Elmwood Street, North. Lakeview Plat.
