2014 Map of Belleville

About this map

Belleville Lake and the winding course of the Huron River dominate this modern landscape in Wayne County, Michigan. The map illustrates a high degree of infrastructure development, where the massive footprint of the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport in Romulus meets a dense network of modern transit. Despite this modernization, older settlement patterns remain visible in the placement of Hillside Cem and Otisville Cem. The southern portion of the map near Martinsville and New Boston retains a more rural character, defined by an intricate system of agricultural and roadside drainage like Randell Drain and Weightman Drain. This document provides a clear look at how 21st-century logistics and aviation infrastructure have integrated with established communities like Belleville and the historic transit point at French Landing along the Norfolk Southern rail line.
