2014 Map of Flat Rock

About this map

The Huron River serves as the central geographic feature of this 2014 survey, meandering through the communities of Flat Rock, Rockwood, and South Rockwood. The landscape is a complex network of agricultural drainage systems, including the Bancroft Noles Drain, Laudenschlager Drain, and Colburn Drain, which highlight the region's managed water table near the Lake Erie shoreline. Transportation infrastructure is well-established, featuring the Flat Rock Station and a series of regional aviation sites such as Carls Airport and Wickenheiser Airport. For family historians, the map is a dense resource for burial sites, marking large grounds like Michigan Memorial Park Cem alongside smaller plots such as Evergreen Cem and Potter Cem. The boundary between Wayne County and Monroe County bisects the area, illustrating the transition between industrial corridors and suburban development.
