About this map

The Huron River carves through this detailed 2019 survey of eastern Ann Arbor, revealing the dense institutional and educational landscape of Washtenaw County. The expansive campus of the University of Michigan Ann Arbor dominates the western edge, anchored by the Washtenaw County Courthouse, while higher education extends eastward to Cleary University, Concordia University Ann Arbor, and Washtenaw Community College. The transition from the urban core to the rural periphery is marked by a series of significant burial grounds, including the historic Forest Hill Cem and Fairview Cem near the river.

Rural character persists in the northern and eastern reaches of the map, where the unincorporated community of Dixboro and the settlement at Emery remain distinct from the growing suburban sprawl. Water management is evident through the network of drainage systems like O'Connor Drain and Snidecor Drain, which support the agricultural tracts still visible between the residential developments and the established neighborhoods of Barton Hills and Geddes.
