1942 Map of Denton

About this map

Denton and Cherry Hill anchor this rural landscape along the border of Washtenaw and Wayne Counties during the early 1940s. The area is defined by a dense network of agricultural drainage and small waterways, including the Lower Rouge River, Fellows Creek, and Tonquish Creek, which carve through the townships of Superior, Canton, and Plymouth. This survey captures a moment when the regional economy was transitioning from purely agrarian life toward early suburban development, evidenced by the presence of the Plymouth Hills Golf Club in the north and the steady traffic of the Michigan Central railroad to the south.
