About this map

Warren and Royal Oak serve as focal points for this mid-1930s survey, illustrating the rapid transition from agrarian townships to organized suburban subdivisions. The landscape is defined by a rigid grid of mile roads, including Fourteenmile Rd and Big Beaver Rd, which frame numerous early residential developments like the Electric Park Subdivision and Lawson North View Subdivision. Industrial and transit connectivity is anchored by the Michigan Central Railroad, which runs parallel to State Highway No 53, supporting the local economy before the massive post-war industrial expansion of the region.
