About this map

The Detroit Zoological Park stands at the heart of this post-war landscape, marking the intersection of growing suburban centers and the northern edge of Detroit. This 1968 revision, updated with purple urban tinting through 1981, documents the densification of Southfield, Royal Oak, and Ferndale during a transformative period for the region. The map reveals a high concentration of educational and religious institutions, including the Lawrence Institute of Technology, Duns Scotus College, and numerous parochial schools like St Mary of Redford High Sch.
