Buildings and Grounds Diagram of the River Rouge Plant of the Ford Motor Company, 1936
Add to SetSummary
Henry Ford's vision for the River Rouge Plant was self-sufficiency. This map illustrates the Rouge's grounds and facilities. It also provides descriptions of some daily operations in this massive complex -- from the 5,000 men whose sole responsibility was cleaning buildings to the by-product plant workers who recovered tar, gas, and crude oil from the coking process for plant consumption.
