About this map

Plymouth and Livonia anchor the northern reaches of this metropolitan landscape, where a dense network of suburban development is interwoven with an intricate system of natural and engineered drainage. The branching tributaries of the Middle River Rouge and Lower River Rouge define the terrain, alongside smaller channels like Tonquish Creek and Fellows Cr. Numerous burial grounds are documented here, including the Old Wayne Cem and Presbyterian Church Cem, providing essential geographic markers for genealogical research in these established communities.

Industrial and civic growth is evident in the transition between Garden City, Westland, and Canton. Key transportation and educational hubs, such as the Canton-Plymouth-Mettetal Airport and Dorsey Business Schools, sit among smaller settlements like Sheldon and Norwayne. The map meticulously tracks the expansion of local road networks, including Michigan Ave and Ford Rd, showing how they integrate with older landmarks like the Sheldon Cem and Downer Cem.
