About this map

The Oakland-Troy Airport serves as a central landmark in this dense suburban landscape of Oakland County, where the sprawling residential street networks of Troy, Birmingham, and Royal Oak converge. This 2011 survey documents a highly developed metropolitan corridor defined by its extensive leisure and memorial spaces. Numerous golf courses, such as Sylvan Glen Golf Course and Lincoln Hills Golf Course, are interspersed among established neighborhoods.

Local history is preserved within a remarkable concentration of memorial grounds, including the historic Greenwood Cemetery, White Chapel Cemetery, and Beach Cemetery. The natural geography of the region is traced by the winding path of the River Rouge and several specialized drainage systems like Sturgis Drain and Big Beaver Creek. From the northern reaches of Oak Grove to the established streets of Berkley and Beverly Hills, the map provides an intricate look at the infrastructure of these Detroit suburbs.
