About this map

The Saline River cuts through the heart of this landscape, anchoring the city of Saline as it appeared in the late 1960s. The map illustrates a period of transition where agriculture and industry intersect, evidenced by the numerous Gravel Pits concentrated near the Ann Arbor RR and Penn Central tracks. Local institutions are well-documented, including the Houghton Sch and Jensen Sch, alongside the specialized Fish Hatchery and Saline Waterworks.

Rural Washtenaw County history is preserved through scattered settlements like Benton and several neighborhood burial grounds such as Lodi Cem and Judd Cem. The infrastructure of the era is marked by the Saline Airport and several radio towers, while the northern edge touches the Ann Arbor Municipal Airport. Natural features like Arnold Lake and Birkle Lake provide contrast to the geometric grid of farm roads like Tessmer Road and Wagner Road.
