2011 Map of Redford

About this map

Detroit and its western suburbs appear here as a densely patterned landscape of residential grids and arterial roads during the early 21st century. The map illustrates the transition from the city's edge into Redford, Farmington, and Farmington Hills, a region shaped by major thoroughfares like 7 Mile Rd and Schoolcraft Rd. This suburban expanse is punctuated by significant green spaces and memorial grounds, including the sprawling Holy Sepulchre Cemetery and Grand Lawn Cemetery. Drainage systems such as the Upper River Rouge, Bell Branch, and Tarabusi Creek carve through the development, indicating the natural hydrology that persisted beneath the expanding metropolitan footprint. Local leisure and industry are noted by the Detroit Race Course and several community hubs like Glenhurst Golf Course, reflecting the recreational character of these neighborhoods at this point in Michigan's history.
