2011 Map of Dearborn

About this map

The industrial and educational heart of Wayne County comes into focus on this 2011 survey, centered on the city of Dearborn. The landscape is dominated by the winding path of the River Rouge, which flows past the University of Michigan - Dearborn and the expansive grounds of Greenfield Village. This area reflects a dense urban fabric where historic residential patterns meet massive industrial infrastructure, particularly evident near the confluence of the Lower River Rouge and the main channel. Large burial grounds including Evergreen Cemetery, Holy Cross Cemetery, and Woodmere Cemetery provide significant open space and genealogical interest within the tight-knit street grids of Detroit and Melvindale. The map also details the complex hydrology of the region, from the Ecorse River in the south to the isolated Fordson Island, illustrating the long-standing relationship between the region's river systems and its heavy industrial development.
