1962 Map of Rome Center

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Rome Center serves as the focal point of this rural Lenawee County landscape, situated at the intersection of Wallace Highway and Rome Road. The area is defined by its agricultural character and a dense network of water management features, including the Shepherd Drain, Fouty Creek, and Atwood Creek, which feed into the larger South Branch River Raisin near the southern boundary. Community life in the early 1960s is anchored by several local institutions, such as the Rome Grange Hall and Four Towns Grange Hall, alongside historic religious sites like North Rome Ch and West Rome Ch. Transportation is facilitated by the New York Central railroad passing through the southeastern corner, while the small Bjorn Landing Strip indicates the presence of private aviation in the post-war era. The numerous cemeteries, including Wolf Creek Cem and East Rome Cem, provide valuable geographic markers for genealogical research in this township-based settlement pattern.
