2019 Map of Ypsilanti West

About this map

The Historic Terhune Graveyard and Stony Creek Cem serve as quiet markers of the long-standing communities between Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti. This 2019 survey captures the developed suburban corridors along W Michigan Ave and W Eisenhower Pkwy while documenting the agricultural roots of the southern townships. The landscape is heavily defined by its managed water systems, including the Chalmers Drain, Swift Drain, and Pittsfield Number Five Drain, reflecting the transformation of former marshlands into productive farmland and residential neighborhoods. Key local landmarks like the Ann Arbor Municipal Airport and the recreational grounds of Rolling Hills Park illustrate the modern utility of the Pittsfield and Stony Creek areas as they bridge the gap between two of Michigan's major university towns.
