1962 Map of Adrian

About this map

The Raisin River flows through the heart of Adrian in this early 1960s survey, where the city's complex rail network remains a dominant feature of the landscape. Major industrial and transit corridors like the Wabash RR and the Detroit Toledo and Ironton converge near the County Fairground, highlighting the region's historical role as a commercial hub for Lenawee County. The map captures a significant educational and institutional presence, showing the sprawling campuses of Adrian College and Siena Heights College, alongside the State Girls Training Sch. Beyond the urban core, the terrain transitions into a grid of agricultural land and rural school districts such as Red Top Sch and West Adrian Sch. Water management is evident through numerous drains like Fisk Drain and the presence of Lake Adrian, which is neighbored by the Lenawee County Country Club. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by numerous burial grounds, including Oakwood Cemetery and the Lenawee Hills Memorial Park.
