2011 Map of Wayne

About this map

Plymouth and Livonia anchor the northern landscape of this survey, where the suburban development of Wayne County is intricately tied to a network of natural and engineered waterways. The area is defined by the winding course of the Middle River Rouge and the Lower River Rouge, along with numerous drainage systems like Deer Drain and Morgan Drain that support the region's dense residential grid. Aviation history is represented by the Mettetal-Canton Airport, while local heritage is preserved in several burial grounds, including the historic Riverside Cemetery and Newburgh Cemetery. The map illustrates the transition from the structured township blocks of Canton to the established residential neighborhoods of Westland and the city of Wayne. Small communities like Sheldon and Norwayne are also detailed, showing the settlement patterns that emerged along major thoroughfares such as Michigan Ave and Ford Rd.
