About this map

Davisburg and its surrounding glacial lake country are defined by a complex network of water bodies and historical crossroads in northern Oakland County. The Shiawassee River meanders through the southern portion of the sheet, passing near Kirby Lake and Long Lake. This landscape is marked by the enduring legacy of early settlement, evidenced by a high density of rural burial grounds including Davisburg Cemetery, Bigelow Cemetery, and the Olive Branch Cemetery.

Industry and recreation intersect near Mount Holly and Groveland Mills, while large organized spaces like Camp Holly and Camp Tamarack occupy significant acreage among the numerous kettle lakes. The road network, including the prominent Dixie Hwy, links established hamlets like Groveland Corners and Austin Corners to the residential growth spreading from Holly. This survey documents a transition in land use, where former mill sites and agricultural crossroads have evolved into a recreational and residential corridor while maintaining their historical place names.
