1967 Map of Milan

About this map

The Saline River winds through the heart of this landscape, anchoring the development of Milan and the outlying hamlet of Mooreville. In the late 1960s, the area shows a distinct transition from a small-town grid and the sprawling Federal Correctional Institution to a deeply etched agricultural interior. Genealogists can identify numerous family-named landmarks and local sites of worship, including St Marys Ch and Midway Ch. Transport patterns are defined by the Norfolk and Western railroad and local aviation at the Milan Airport. The southern reaches of the quadrangle preserve the historic Old Indian Treaty Boundary, while scattered educational and burial sites like Jones Sch and Rice Cem provide a look into the rural social fabric of Washtenaw and Monroe Counties.
