1936 Map of Wayne
USGS Topo · Published 1936About this map
Plymouth and Wayne anchor this 1930s landscape, illustrating a transition between established town centers and the expanding suburban corridors of western Wayne County. The Middle Rouge River and Newburg Lake are central features, surrounded by the developing Middle Rouge Park system and the Middle Rouge Parkway Drive. The presence of the Triangle Airport near U S Highway highlights early aviation infrastructure in the region. Transportation is dominated by the Pere Marquette railroad and historic thoroughfares like the Ann Arbor Trail. Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed plotting of local schools and cemeteries, including Cadillac Mem Park Cem, Sheldon Cem, and Newburg Cem. Small agricultural settlements like Sheldon and Newburg remain distinct amidst a growing network of named drains, such as Tonquish Drain and Truesdell Drain, reflecting the area's hydraulic management.
