About this map

Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport dominates the northwestern corner of this area, its massive layout of runways and terminals bordering Romulus and the residential expansion of Taylor. This 2017 study illustrates the dense suburban grid of Wayne County, where an intricate network of engineered waterways like the Sexton and Kilfoil Drain and the Frank and Poet Drain manage the low-lying landscape between the Ecorse River and the industrial corridors to the south.

Local historians and genealogists will find several burial grounds preserved amidst the development, including the Taylor Cem and Oak Ridge Cem. The transition from the airport's infrastructure to the residential neighborhoods of Woodhaven reveals the 21st-century character of the Downriver region, where major thoroughfares like Eureka Rd and Pennsylvania Rd facilitate the movement of people and commerce through these legacy townships.
