About this map

Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport dominates the northwestern portion of this Michigan landscape, showing the massive infrastructure required for one of the region's primary transit hubs. Surrounding the airfield and the expanding residential corridors of Taylor and Woodhaven, an intricate network of local drainage systems like Sexton and Kilfoil Drain and Frank and Poet Drain illustrate the engineering required to manage the low-lying terrain of the Detroit suburbs.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of several burial grounds, including the West Mound Cemetery, Taylor Cemetery, and the Krause Cemetery. These sites, alongside family-named landmarks like Kittle Cemetery, provide a clear record of the area's early settlement before it transitioned into a dense suburban and industrial landscape. The southern edge is defined by the winding course of the Huron River and the open space of Willow Metro Park, offering a natural contrast to the grid of Taylor's residential streets.
