1968 Map of Inkster
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The settlement of Eloise and its sprawling institutional grounds anchor the central landscape of this western Wayne County survey. At this time, the area is undergoing rapid post-war suburbanization, with dense residential grids filling the spaces between Livonia, Westland, and Garden City. The Middle Rouge River and Lower Rouge River provide natural greenbelts through the expanding urban environment, hosting the Warren Valley Golf Course and Dearborn Hills Golf Club. Local history and genealogy interest is concentrated in several large memorial grounds, including Cadillac Memorial Gardens West Cem and Westlawn Cemetery. The infrastructure of the era is evident in the burgeoning road network, where Telegraph Road and the Detroit Industrial Freeway facilitate regional transit alongside the Norfolk and Western rail lines.
