1906 Map of Saline

About this map

Saline and Tecumseh anchor this agricultural landscape in southeastern Michigan, serving as centers of commerce where the regional rail networks converged at the start of the 20th century. The Lake Shore and Michigan Southern R R snakes across the terrain, connecting smaller stations at Bridgewater and Clinton while crossing over the Saline River and the River Raisin. The landscape is a network of small crossroad settlements and farmsteads, including Weinsburg, Fredonia, and Macon, many of which were defined by their proximity to water bodies like Pleasant Lake or Columbia Lake.
