1967 Map of Wyandotte

About this map

The Detroit River serves as the dominant corridor of commerce and geography along this Michigan-Ontario borderland. Dense mid-century residential and industrial growth stretches through Wyandotte, Southgate, and Riverview, while the sprawling Sibley Quarry and an Oil Refinery near Woodhaven highlight the region's heavy industrial foundations. The landscape is deeply tied to its water and rail infrastructure, featuring the Detroit Toledo and Ironton RR and the Penn Central lines that service the shoreline. Local genealogy and community history are anchored by numerous parochial institutions like St Francis Cabrini Ch and St Pius Sch, alongside several established burial grounds including Ferndale Cemetery and the Masonic Cem. To the east, the map details the distinct character of Grosse Ile and the smaller Mamajuda Island within the river’s reach.
