2017 Map of Ypsilanti East

About this map

Ford Lake and the Huron River dominate the landscape of eastern Washtenaw County, providing a central anchor for the residential growth radiating from Ypsilanti and Eastlawn. This modern survey reveals a dense network of suburban development intertwined with vital aviation hubs like Willow Run Airport and the smaller Belleville Airport. To the south, the terrain transitions into more open lands drained by Paint Creek and the Big Marsh Drain, where the smaller settlements of Willis and Whittaker maintain a more rural character. Genealogists can find numerous burial sites scattered across the township, from the Saint Lukes Episcopal Church Cloister Garth Cem in the city to more remote locations like Alban Cem and Union-Udell Cem. The map provides a precise view of the region's complex water management system, including named agricultural conduits such as the Jewett Drain and Throop Number One Drain.
