1906 Map of South Lyon

About this map

Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti anchor this early 20th-century survey of the southeastern Michigan interior, where the Huron River and a dense network of steam and electric railways defined the region's geography. The map documents an era of transit-driven growth, featuring the Michigan Central R R corridor alongside the Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti Electric R R. Small agricultural hubs and rail stops like Geddes, Denton, and Whitmore Lake Sta are clearly detailed, showing the placement of individual structures during a time when the rural landscape was becoming increasingly interconnected.
