Description:

One "Map of the City of Detroit, Showing Fire Limits, Paved Streets & Sewers." The map is printed in black and red ink on white paper and shows streets, street names, ward numbers, and railroad lines. The reference key indicates that blue lines were to indicate paved streets, red lines were to indicate sewer lines, and buff-colored areas were to indicate fire service limits. However, only a few streets near downtown are marked in red and none of the other colors are shown. The names of former ribbon farm owners are shown along the top of the map. The map was "Compiled by Eugene Robinson, City Surveyor," in 1871.
