1936 Map of Denton

About this map

Denton and Cherry Hill anchor this rural landscape along the boundary between Washtenaw and Wayne counties during the mid-1930s. The region is defined by a dense network of agricultural drainage and small waterways, including Fellows Creek and the Lower River Rouge, which supported the surrounding farmsteads. Transportation is dominated by the Michigan Central Railroad passing through Denton in the south, while several historic thoroughfares like the Ann Arbor Trail and Joy Road cross the countryside.
