1952 Map of Birmingham

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Birmingham and its neighboring Oakland County suburbs appear in the midst of mid-century residential expansion, with a dense network of country schools and family cemeteries still dotting the landscape. The iconic Shrine of the Little Flower stands at the southern edge near Royal Oak, while the Grand Trunk RR cuts a diagonal path through the growing heart of the city. The map reveals the academic character of the northwest, defined by the Cranbrook campus and its associated institutions like Kingswood Sch.
