2023 Map of Belleville

About this map

Belleville and the Huron River corridor anchor this contemporary survey of southwestern Wayne County, where the landscape is defined by its sophisticated water management network and aviation infrastructure. The expansive footprint of the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport dominates the eastern section, illustrating the industrial scale of the modern region. The map reveals a dense system of historical drainage infrastructure, including the Strong Drain, McClaughrey Drain, and Robinson Drain, which have long shaped the development of communities like Romulus and French Landing. Genealogists will find a concentration of burial grounds throughout the area, from the Romulus Memorial Cem and Tyler Street Cem in the north to the Nowland Cem near New Boston and Mallett Memorial Cem further west, providing a comprehensive view of the township's long-established family history.
