1968 Map of Clarkston

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Deer Lake and the village of Clarkston anchor the northern landscape of this Oakland County survey, where the glacial topography created a dense network of water bodies and marshy lowlands like Huron Swamp. During the late 1960s, the area shows a clear transition from rural estates and institutions—such as Columbiere College—to the burgeoning suburban corridors of Waterford and Drayton Plains. The Grand Trunk Western Railroad and the historic Dixie Hwy facilitate this growth, cutting through the lakes towards the expanding Oakland-Pontiac Airport. Between the developed residential clusters, massive Gravel Pits and public lands like the Pontiac Lake State Recreation Area preserve the area's open space. Genealogists will find numerous family and community landmarks, including Lakeview Cemetery and the Bridge Lake Cem near the northern boundary.
