2011 Map of Flat Rock

About this map

The Huron River snakes through this landscape, defining the boundaries and development patterns of Flat Rock, Rockwood, and South Rockwood. The river is flanked by numerous memorial sites, including Michigan Memorial Park Cemetery and Oakwood Cemetery, which suggest a long-established community structure. The map highlights the area's transition from river-based settlement to a rail-and-aviation hub, evidenced by the significant Flat Rock Yard and smaller aviation landmarks like Carls Airport and Wickenheiser Airport. Numerous agricultural and utility drains, such as the Wagner and Pink Drain and Bancroft Noles Drain, crisscross the townships, revealing the intensive land management required for this low-lying region near the Lake Erie tributaries.
