Some history research for Savage Fallout: Detroit

Ive started on my research in Detroit, as Ive never been there and Im trying to extrapolate a new version of the city for the game.

So here are the salient historical features I want to include;

• Industry spurred growth during the first half of the twentieth century as Detroit became the USA's fourth largest.
• Consolidation during the 1950s, especially in the automobile sector, increased competition for jobs.
• An extensive freeway system constructed in the 1950s and 1960s had facilitated commuting.

This will give me a major, ruined urban wasteland to work with. Along with massive freeways for quick, but dangerous, travel paths.

Neighborhoods - well Wikipedia has a whole article on that - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neighborhoods_in_Detroit - have to ferret out some cool details and post some well know Wasteland information for different communities. This is about the detail level Im looking at http://www.world-guides.com/images/detroit/detroit_map.jpg
 
On the off chance someone from the Detroit area comes across here please let me know if Im missing a website for info.
