About this map

The Raisin River meanders sharply through Monroe County in the early 1970s, anchoring the primary settlements of Dundee and Petersburg. This agricultural and industrial corridor is defined by a dense intersection of transport networks, where the Ann Arbor Railroad and the Detroit Toledo and Ironton Railroad cross the landscape alongside numerous rural flight strips like Gradolph Airfield and the Brewer Landing Strip.

South of the river, the Petersburg State Game Management Area occupies a significant portion of Summerfield Township, offering a contrast to the nearby Quarry operations and the expanding village footprints. Local history is preserved in several rural burying grounds, including Maple Grove Cem and Oak Grove Cem, while the small settlement of Rea and the rail-oriented Petersburg Junction illustrate the era's persisting small-town infrastructure.
