Farmington and Northville anchor this early 20th-century landscape, which is defined by an intricate network of electric railways that preceded the modern automotive era. The Orchard Lake Electric RR and the Detroit and Northville Electric RR carve through the townships, connecting smaller hubs like Clarenceville and Powers to the larger Detroit vicinity. This transition period is evident in the cluster of institutional landmarks, such as the Wayne County Home near Eloise, sitting alongside established rail lines like the Pere Marquette RR.
