About this map

Large institutional complexes dominate the landscape of western Wayne County on the eve of post-war suburbanization. The Detroit House of Correction and the Wayne County Training School occupy significant acreage in the south, while a dedicated Sanitarium sits further north near the county line. These facilities were central to the regional infrastructure of the era, situated amidst a grid of rural section roads like Eight Mile Rd (Base Line Rd) and Seven Mile Rd (Fishery Rd).
