Map: Full Color Detroit 1891

November 16, 2016 By Alex B. Hill

This map is part of the David Rumsey Historical Map Collection and, in my opinion, is a beautiful reference map of the time period. My favorite is the inclusion of the distance radii and the Grand Boulevard parkways stand out in all their verdant glory.
