Bring up any page in that census for Detroit. At the top, you will see a line at the top that says: You are here Search> Census> 1920 US Census> Michigan> Wayne> (and etc.). Double click on Wayne, and all the wards for Wayne county will pop up in a list, including the 21 Detroit wards. You can click on the wards on that list one by one and get the boundaries. It'll be a bit tedious, but whaddahell. Good luck. | ||

Ray, what is the website? The census website, American FactFinder...? Here is the old wards map: http://www.ci.detroit.mi.us/it sd/gis/gis_mappg_ward.htm Most of the ones in the central city, as you can see, were very thin and followed the boundaries of the old ribbon farms. | ||

"Ray, what is the website? The census website, American FactFinder...?" No, we're talking about www.ancestry.com which is a pay service. It costs about $200 a year, but is invaluable to anyone really into genealogy. | ||
