2019 Map of Flat Rock

About this map

The Huron River defines much of the character of this region along the border of Wayne County and Monroe County, where established residential communities meet a complex network of agricultural drains and small airfields. These waterways, including the Warner Drain and Bancroft Noles Drain, illustrate the long-term engineering of the landscape to manage the low-lying terrain near the Great Lakes. The area is notable for its numerous memorial sites, such as the expansive Michigan Memorial Park Cem and several smaller burial grounds like Potter Cem. Transportation hubs including Carls Airport and Buzzwick Airport are situated between the river-focused settlements of Flat Rock and Rockwood, while the southern reaches near Newport maintain a more rural, open character punctuated by family and community landmarks like Mills Field.
