1972 Map of Palmyra

About this map

The Raisin River carves a winding path through this corner of Lenawee County, defining the agricultural landscape between the townships of Palmyra and Ogden. Small rural centers such as Palmyra and Ogden Center serve as the primary hubs, connected by a rigid grid of country roads including Adrian Road and Ridgeville Road. The area's transport legacy is evident in the rail lines that cross the terrain, specifically the Penn Central and the Detroit and Ironton routes, which facilitated the movement of goods from the surrounding fields.
