1965 Map of Ann Arbor East

About this map

The Huron River winds through the heart of this landscape, anchoring the campus expansion of the University of Michigan and the residential growth of eastern Ann Arbor. By the mid-1960s, the map reveals a city in transition, where established institutional grounds like Nichols Arboretum and Forest Hill Cemetery meet new developments moving toward Dixboro and the Superior township line. To the north, the terrain shifts into the agricultural reaches of Northfield and Salem, where rural life is still anchored by landmarks such as the Northfield Church, St Johns Ch, and the isolated Emery crossroads.
