1953 Map of Denton

Further east toward the Wayne County line, the rural character remains more intact around the small settlement of Cherry Hill. The map meticulously tracks the drainage of the region through numerous named channels like Crippen Drain and Parks Drain, which supported the area's agricultural base. Notable institutional landmarks are also present, including the Leland Sanatorium and several well-established burial grounds like Pray Cem and Kinyon Cem, providing a detailed look at the social and physical geography of the mid-century Michigan countryside.
