About this map

The Detroit Metropolitan-Wayne County Airport dominates the northwestern portion of this Michigan landscape, showing the expansion of air travel infrastructure amidst a rapidly urbanizing corridor. In the cities of Romulus and Taylor, the map documents a transition from rural drainage patterns to dense residential development, highlighted by purple-tinted urban extensions. Local genealogy is well-supported by several burial sites, including West Mound Cem and Krause Cem, while the educational landscape is anchored by institutions like Taylor Center High Sch and John F Kennedy Sch. Industrial and commercial growth is evident along the Norfolk and Western Railway and the Detroit Toledo and Ironon tracks. Cultural landmarks of the era include a Drive-in Theater in Woodhaven and the sprawling Huron Metro Park along the southern border.
