The dense urban expansion of northern Detroit and its surrounding enclaves is meticulously documented in this 1938 survey. This edition highlights the industrial and civic core of Highland Park and Hamtramck as they appeared just before the wartime production boom. Major landmarks such as the Michigan State Fair Grounds and the Detroit City Airport anchor the landscape, while the Detroit Terminal Railroad snakes through the grid, illustrating the era's heavy reliance on rail for logistics.
