The Historic Townships of Detroit

[Dexlin]

All of Wayne County in 1916. Hope this helps.

Thanks. This is exactly why I asked the question, because the townships can get quite irregular when you get near the lakes, and particularly taking into account Detroit's old ribbon farm layout. I knew particularly once you got east of Greenfield Township things would start to get crazy given the existing borders of the Pointes.

Looks like a line down Hoover used to be the border between Hamtramck and Gratiot Townships until you got to Outer Drive [[or is that Harper?), then it went down McClellan until Mack, and then the border looks to go east along either Charelvoix or Vernor, but I can't really tell.

Looks like Harper Woods and Grosse Pointe Woods were entirely carved out of Gratiot Township.

It also looks like Tireman, as opposed to Joy, used to be the southern border of Greenfield on the westside, but the border jumpes back up to Joy when you get to Redford.

BTW, can anyone tell the streets that intersect at the settlement of North Detroit on the upper eastside? Never knew about the old settlement up that way. Looks like maybe 6 Mile and Van Dyke, or 6 Mile and Mound?
