1902 Map of Ypsilanti
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
The Huron River winds through this early twentieth-century landscape, anchoring the bustling settlement of Ypsilanti. The area is a dense web of steam and electric transit, featuring the Michigan Central RR and the Detroit, Ypsilanti, Ann Arbor, and Jackson Electric RR, reflecting a time of rapid regional connectivity. Small farming communities and post offices like Rawsonville, Whittaker, and Oakville dot the township boundaries of Augusta and York. Southward, the map details the intersection of the Ann Arbor RR and the Wabash RR at the town of Milan, a critical rail junction. This survey documents the agrarian and industrial transition of Washtenaw and Monroe counties before the mid-century expansion of modern infrastructure, preserving the original courses of waterways like Willow Run and Paint Creek.
