1967 Map of Saline

About this map

The city of Saline serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s study, situated at the convergence of the Saline River and several key transit corridors. The landscape reveals a transition from the developing municipal core to the surrounding agricultural townships of Lodi, Pittsfield, Saline, and York. This era shows significant local infrastructure, including the Ann Arbor Municipal Airport in the northeast and the Saline Waterworks along the river. Genealogists will find several burial sites well-preserved on this sheet, such as Lodi Cem, Union Cem, and Judd Cem. A notable information-gain insight is the presence of an abandoned railroad line cutting through the fields west of the city, marking the end of a previous era of rail commerce while the Trailer Park and suburban expansion north of the river signal modern growth.
