About this map

White Lake serves as the central focal point of this Oakland County landscape, characterized by its intricate shoreline and prominent landforms such as Dawsons Island and Hubbels Island. The surrounding township is a patchwork of water and residential development, with established communities like Seven Harbors and East Highland anchoring the local geography. To the west, the village of Highland and the settlement of Clyde represent historic clusters of activity near the headwaters of Pettibone Creek.

Family history researchers will find significant detail in the placement of the White Lake Cemetery, Highland Cemetery, and Rose Center Cemetery. The terrain is marked by numerous glacial kettle lakes including Duck Lake, Brendel Lake, and Lake Braemar. Large recreational and social tracts like Camp Wathana and the Highland Hills Golf Course further define the land use, while the elevations of Haven Hill and Teeple Hill provide the highest vantage points in the southern portion of the quadrangle.
