1908 Map of Ann Arbor
USGS Topo · Published 1908About this map
The Huron River carves a central path through this early twentieth-century landscape, anchoring the development of major hubs like Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti. During this era, the region was a dense nexus of steam and electric transport, where the Michigan Central RR and the Detroit and Chicago RR intersected with local lines such as the Detroit and Saline Electric RR. To the south, the Saline River and River Raisin support agricultural centers including Saline, Clinton, and Tecumseh, while the northern township of Hamburg is defined by a complex chain of glacial lakes like Whitmore Lake and Strawberry Lake.
