1968 Map of Inkster

About this map

Wayne County’s westward expansion is frozen in time across the suburban landscapes of Livonia, Garden City, and Inkster. The map captures a high-density period of residential growth defined by an extensive network of parochial and public schools, such as Nankin Mills Sch and St Mel's Sch, interspersed with local landmarks like the Dearborn Country Club. The Lower Rouge River and Middle Rouge River corridors serve as central recreational and geographic spines, flanked by the Hines Parkway and the Lower Rouge Parkway.
