1952 Map of Wayne
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
Plymouth, Wayne, and the growing suburbs of Livonia anchor this western Wayne County landscape during a period of rapid post-war expansion. The map captures a transition from agricultural lands in Canton township to organized residential blocks in Norwayne, reflecting the mid-century suburbanization of the Detroit metro area. Strategic transportation corridors define the region, with the Chesapeake and Ohio and New York Central railroads bisecting the terrain, while Michigan Ave serves as a primary arterial route through the settlement of Sheldon.
