I should have specified the location better. Its at the end of Rangoon. West of Livernois and North of Tireman.

Near Tireman and Livernois on the west side is the former location of some large building. The interesting thing to me is that it only had access through various alley's instead of streets. Anyone...

I would guess its just an line that ended up off a few degrees. This is found in my sections that were surveyed later than the 10K tract. NW Warren has examples of lines running at subtle angles. I...

The link to the plat is below. The cabin is on lot 68. Judging by the fact that there is no deviation from the lot in the middle of the block from many other in the plat I have to imagine it was...

However this land and it's subdivision is within the 10,000 acre tract which predacted the PLSS. The subdivision was platted in 1916 and this house sits on a 35 foot wide lot just like every other...

What is the story or relation of the naming of Greater Mack or even Little Mack? It's interesting to note that Greater Mack may have been planned to run much further. I've seen very old maps that...

Does anyone have any links or information on housing units by decade for the City of Detroit. I am curious how many remain in regards to its peak. Previous vacancy rates would be interesting to learn...

I live only a few miles from the epicenter. The shaking was quite strong, whole house was shaking. There was also a rumbling noise. Never felt anything like that before. Lasted about 15 seconds, it...

I enjoy using the DTE aerials to witness the rapid changes in the area after WWII. The subdivisions at 10 and Kelly in Eastpointe [[or East Detroit if...

It exists and was built. The sub is at the NW corner of Southfield and Joy. Here is the plat.

Looks like some roads were vacated...

I think Conners Creek is trying to make a comeback.

I noticed that Sunset Ave in Detroit off of Eight Mile Road is also called Clinton River Shore Road on Google. In the past I was able to find that a branch of the Red Run ran as far south as Eight...

Ive never done title research in Wayne County, I dont know if it was Detroit or Wayne county but I was once told the records were not well organized. It would be a great place to start. If you have...

Your property is not in a subdivision that is why. Your legal is a metes and bounds description. Property divided outside of a subdivision has a legal description tying it into the survey system in...

Does anybody know or have info on the history of Varier Park on the west side. Near Outer Dr & Greenfield. I remember coming across this park 10 years ago or so and didnt remember where this park...

I have always been interested in the west side past Schaefer or Greenfield. This is a part of town that was built out mostly after 1945. Up until then most of the land was wide open and is relatively...

Seems there is interest in Chesterfield as well. Here is a link for whoever seems to require links/ proof.

This is a book I have had for quite some time published in 1970 I believe. It is a very comprehensive collection of data about Detroit and the region. It covers data for a circle about 100 miles from...

I couldnt tell you myself but I figure its likely another bankrupt developer due to the economy like you speculated. Though what I find interesting is how far that road goes. I followed it and it...

Anybody familiar with how the census numbers are figured relating to villages. From what I can tell the townships with villages totals include the population of the villages in them. First I noticed...

I69 west of Port Huron is nice because its like having a whole freeway to yourself, very little traffic.

Great question!
I assume you mean as Detroit was expanding in the first half of the 20th century and not taking into account the recent small farming that is occurring. I would have to guess perhaps...

Welland Ave is now San Juan Dr. I dont know when or why the name was changed though.
