About this map

The Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport dominates the northwestern portion of this landscape, its massive infrastructure contrastingly surrounded by a complex network of historical drainage channels like the Sloss and Ginong Drain and Sexton and Kilfoil Drain. This 2023 survey of the Romulus area reveals a suburban and industrial fabric woven through with significant genealogical markers, including numerous local burial grounds such as Taylor Township Cem and West Mound Cem. The southern reach is defined by the winding course of the Huron River, accompanied by the Huron River Water Trail Upper River. The dense naming of small waterways like Hale Creek and Blakely Drain reflects the historical effort to manage the low-lying terrain of Wayne County for settlement and transit along major corridors like I-94.
