1936 Map of Ypsilanti East

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

Belleville Lake dominates the landscape of this 1930s borderland between Washtenaw and Wayne Counties. This advance sheet, compiled from aerial photographs, reveals an intricate drainage network essential to the region's agricultural productivity, featuring the Brown and Rounds Drain, Throop No 1 Drain, and Reynolds Drain. Small residential clusters and family-named points like Hanshaw, Jewett, and Edgewater Heights appear alongside established rural landmarks such as Soop Cem and the Willow Run Sch. The presence of the Day and Bird Marsh and Swan Creek in the south illustrates the natural hydrology before extensive modern development. This survey provides a precise record of the land just as the Willow Run area was beginning to transition from quiet rural acreage toward its significant industrial future.
