1905 Map of Grossepoint

USGS Topo · Published 1905

About this map

The Lake St. Clair shoreline and the upper reaches of the Detroit River define this 1904 survey, documenting a period of rapid transition from semi-rural townships to early suburban development. The landscape is marked by a distinctive pattern of long, narrow ribbon farms extending inland from the water, particularly visible in Erin and Grossepoint. Early transportation networks are well-established, including the Grand Trunk R R and the Detroit and Lake Shore Electric Ry, which linked coastal settlements like Vernier and Claireview to the growing city. Significant recreational and civic sites appear at the edge of the urban core, notably Belle Isle Park, the Waterworks Park, and the Grossepoint Racetrack. To the south, across the international boundary, the Canadian shore at Tecumseh is mapped along the Grand Trunk R R Main Line.
