1968 Map of Highland Park
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The industrial and residential expansion of the Detroit metropolitan area is frozen in time on this 1968 survey, showcasing the dense urban grids of Highland Park and Hamtramck. The landscape is defined by the heavy rail infrastructure of the Grand Trunk Western and the Detroit Terminal, which shaped the placement of factories and worker housing during the city's automotive height. Large green spaces provide a sharp contrast to the surrounding development, notably the wooded grounds of Palmer Park and the expansive Forest Lawn Cemetery.
