1952 Map of Flat Rock

About this map

Flat Rock and Rockwood serve as the primary hubs along the winding course of the Huron River, marking a period of postwar expansion where industrial infrastructure met rural landscapes. The Pennsylvania RR and New York Central RR lines cut a diagonal path across the terrain, supporting the Flat Rock Yard and facilitating the movement of goods between Detroit and Toledo. This transit-heavy corridor is balanced by extensive drainage networks, such as Swan Creek and Silver Creek, which define the agricultural outskirts in Ash and Huron townships.
