2011 Map of Saline

About this map

Saline and the southern periphery of Ann Arbor define this Washtenaw County landscape at the start of the 2010s. The geography is characterized by the meandering path of the Saline River, which flows past the small settlement of Benton and through the city of Saline, supported by a network of agricultural and municipal water management systems like the Koch Warner Drain and Pittsfield Number Five Drain. This era shows a clear transition between suburban expansion and rural farmland, with residential developments such as Brookfield Dr and Lohr Cir appearing near the Ann Arbor Municipal Airport. Genealogists and local historians can locate several traditional burial grounds including Lodi Cemetery, Union Cemetery, and Saint James Cemetery. The map also captures several small water bodies, including Birkle Lake, Arnold Lake, and Ella Lee Lake, reflecting the glacial topography of the region.
