About this map

Ford Lake and Belleville Lake dominate the central landscape of this eastern Washtenaw County area, created by the damming of the Huron River. The map shows a transition from the dense urban grid of Ypsilanti and its industrial corridors toward the more open, drain-crossed agricultural lands to the south. Educational and research institutions like Eastern Michigan University and the University of Michigan Institute of Science are prominent, alongside the expansive grounds of Willow Run Airport.

Smaller residential pockets and older settlements such as Rawsonville, Willis, and Whittaker are situated among a complex network of agricultural waterways, including Paint Creek and numerous named drains like the Jewett Drain. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, including Woodlawn Cemetery and Alban Cemetery, which offer points of interest for genealogists tracing early families in the township.
