About this map

The Huron River winds through this landscape northwest of Ann Arbor, defining a corridor of historically significant settlements and water-driven geography. In the early 21st century, the area shows the clear footprint of suburban development alongside the older village structures of Dexter, Scio, and Delhi Mills. The river's path is marked by substantial impoundments like Barton Pond and smaller natural features such as Bridgewater Lake and Green Oak Lake. These waterways have long dictated the placement of roads and early industrial sites in Washtenaw County.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several major interment sites, including Williams Cemetery, Bethlehem Cemetery, and Washtenong Memorial Park. The map also captures the distinct residential layouts of Barton Hills and the proximity of the Gooding Airport to the northern rural reaches. This survey provides a precise view of the transition between the dense urban grid of western Ann Arbor and the agricultural lands near W Joy Rd and Webster Church Rd.
