2017 Map of Flat Rock

About this map

The Huron River serves as the primary corridor for this region, anchoring the growth of Flat Rock and Rockwood. This landscape is defined by an intricate network of agricultural and municipal drainage systems, such as the Wagner and Pink Drain, Vandecar Drain, and Laudenschlager Drain, which manage the low-lying terrain as it transitions toward Lake Erie. The map reveals a dense concentration of memorial sites and family burial grounds, including the large Michigan Memorial Park Cem and the smaller Potter Cem. Further south, the map illustrates the more open rural character of Newport and the presence of small local aviation landmarks like Carls Airport and Buzzwick Airport, alongside the industrial and residential expansion of Woodhaven in the northeast.
