2014 Map of Highland

About this map

White Lake serves as the central focal point of this Oakland County landscape, characterized by an intricate network of glacial kettle lakes and islands. The community of Seven Harbors occupies a complex series of peninsulas on the lake's western shore, while Dawsons Island and Hubbels Island remain prominent features in the main basin. The map illustrates a transition from the denser residential lakeside developments to the more rural, rolling terrain of the northern and western sections. Significant elevations are marked by Haven Hill and Teeple Hill to the south. Historically significant sites for genealogists include the Rose Center Cem, White Lake Cem, and Highland Cem. This area demonstrates the long-standing importance of water access for settlement, with established communities like Rose Center, Clyde, and Davisburg situated near smaller water bodies like Buckhorn Lake and Lake Braemar.
