Map: Detroit Travel Time Map 1915

July 13, 2016 By Alex B. Hill

isochronal-transport-time

This map represents an analysis from the 1915 “Report on Detroit Street Railway Traffic and Proposed Subway” (Barclay, Parsons & Klapp) looking at travel times from Downtown. The isochrone lines show that in 1915 it would take 40min to get 7 miles (to Highland Park) and the same distance and time to reach Grosse Pointe Park.
