About this map

Novi and Northville townships are defined by a grid of agricultural section roads and early 20th-century institutions in this 1936 survey. Large institutional footprints such as the Detroit House of Correction, Wayne Training School, and Maybury Sanitarium occupy significant acreage along the Oakland and Wayne County line, reflecting a period when such facilities were established on the outskirts of metropolitan Detroit. The landscape is primarily rural, dotted with country schools including Stone Sch, Putman Sch, and Thayer Sch.
