About this map

Davisburg and the southern edge of Holly anchor this 2019 survey of the Oakland County landscape, where the headwaters of the Shiawassee River wind through a dense network of kettle lakes and wetlands. The terrain is defined by glacial features like Mt Holly and a series of water bodies including Bush Lake, Rice Lake, and the sprawling Wildwood Lake. Several crossroads settlements such as Groveland Corners, Five Points, and Austin Corners suggest the historical travel patterns established before modern infrastructure.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the numerous burial grounds documented, including Lakeside Cem near Holly and Bigelow Cem to the east. The legacy of early industry remains visible through labels like Stiff's Mill Pond, while the expansive Holly Rec. Area preserves much of the lake-dotted interior. Transportation corridors like the historic Dixie Hwy and the modern 75 interstate bisect the township, illustrating the evolution from local carriage roads to major regional arteries.
