About this map

Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport dominates the northwestern portion of this 2014 survey, illustrating the significant industrial and transportation footprint within Romulus and neighboring Taylor. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems such as the Sexton and Kilfoil Drain and Frank and Poet Drain, which manage the low-lying terrain surrounding the Ecorse River. These man-made channels reflect the extensive suburban engineering required for the development of Wayne County's downriver communities.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find several well-documented burial grounds, including Taylor Cem, W Mound Cem, and the Oak Ridge Cem near Woodhaven. The map also captures the residential growth south of the airport, where new developments meet older landmarks like Krause Cem and Kittle Cem. The grid of major thoroughfares, including Telegraph Rd and Inkster Rd, highlights the connectivity between these growing Detroit suburbs.
