1952 Map of Clarkston

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Pontiac Lake and the upper reaches of the Clinton River dominate this post-war landscape in Oakland County, where suburban development begins to press against established rural settlements. The Grand Trunk Western railroad serves as a primary axis for the region, connecting Clarkston and Waterford while passing the now-abandoned Clarkston Station Sch. The map reveals a transition from traditional lakeside recreation at Windiate Park and Baycourt Camp toward permanent residential expansion, evidenced by the platting of Crescent Lake Estates. Genealogists will find significant detail in the numerous burial grounds, including Lakeview Cemetery and Lakeside Cemetery, while the presence of the Pontiac Municipal Airport and a state Fish Hatchery reflects the diverse civic infrastructure of the early 1950s.
