1952 Map of Detroit-Wayne Airport
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
The Detroit-Wayne Airport occupies a central position on this 1952 study, reflecting the rapid transformation of the Wayne County landscape as aviation and industry expanded outward from Detroit. Beyond the runways, a dense network of drainage canals, such as the Jacques Drain and Frank and Poet Drain, underscores the engineering efforts required to develop this low-lying terrain. The surrounding townships of Taylor and Brownstown are characterized by a transition from rural agricultural plots to early suburban clusters like Taylor Center and Brighton.
