2011 Map of Inkster

About this map

The Lower River Rouge and its tributaries carve a winding path through this densely developed corridor of Wayne County, Michigan. The landscape is characterized by the convergence of several major Detroit suburbs, including Inkster, Garden City, and Westland, which are defined by an intricate grid of residential streets. A notable concentration of memorial sites and burial grounds serves as a focal point for local history and genealogy, from the National Memorial Gardens in the north to the Eloise Cemetery and Nowlin Cemetery further south. The drainage patterns of the area, represented by Ecorse River, Black Creek, and various man-made channels like McPhee Drain, underscore the region's managed hydrology. This survey also documents essential civic infrastructure, including the Dearborn Heights Post Office and the Redford Water and Sewer Department, alongside recreational spaces like the Rouge Golf Course and the parklands bordering Edward N Hines Dr.
