1945 Map of Birmingham
USGS Topo · Published 1945About this map
The Rouge River and the Grand Trunk Western railroad corridor shape the landscape of northern Oakland County during this mid-1940s survey. Rapid residential development is visible in Birmingham, where a dense grid of streets radiates from the city center, while surrounding areas like Bloomfield Hills and Troy maintain a more dispersed, transitionary character. The presence of numerous institutions, including the Little Flower High Sch and St Hugo Ch, alongside landmarks like Dodge Bros State Park No 6, reflects a period of significant community growth and civic investment.
