1969 Map of Denton

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Ypsilanti area and its eastern townships show a landscape in rapid transition as suburban expansion meets the region's agricultural roots. Educational institutions anchor the southern edge, with E Mich Univ and Washtenaw Community College serving as major landmarks alongside Highland Cemetery. To the north and east, the map details a dense network of drainage systems like Nelson Drain and Parks Drain, essential for managing the low-lying terrain that feeds into the Lower River Rouge. Small rural clusters like Cherry Hill and Denton remain distinct, marked by their local landmarks such as the Kinyon Cem and Bennett Sch. This survey reveals the increasing industrial and residential footprint near Willow, where the burgeoning urban tint encroaches upon long-established family cemeteries and rural schools.
