2017 Map of Saline

About this map

The Saline River winds south through Washtenaw County, anchoring the transition from the edges of Ann Arbor to the more rural sections of Lodi and York townships. In the early 21st century, this landscape shows the dense suburban residential development of north Saline set against a persistent grid of historic family-named cemeteries and agricultural land. Notable burial grounds such as Oakwood Cem, Lodi Cem, and Waters Road Cem offer significant touchpoints for genealogical research. The region's infrastructure is defined by its aviation hubs, including the Ann Arbor Municipal Airport and the smaller Saline Airport. Water management is evident through a complex system of drainage, including the Wood Outlet Drain and Pittsfield Number Five Drain, which regulate the flow through the area's numerous small lakes like Birkle Lake and Arnold Lake.
