Mapping Hamtramck takes a different approach to telling the history of a remarkable community. Various forms of maps are used to show how Hamtramck grew from a rural farming community to a major industrial city in little more than a decade. This was a transformation unprecedented in the nation and a key aspect of the rapid growth of the auto industry in Detroit.
