About this map

Glacial lakes and wetlands dominate this portion of Oakland County, where the upper reaches of the Huron River wind through a landscape defined by water and woods. The settlement at Seven Harbors sits on the western shore of White Lake, a prominent local landmark featuring Hubbels Island. This survey captures the transition of the region from a rural agricultural area toward a recreational destination, as evidenced by the establishment of the Highland State Recreation Area in the south. Scattered throughout the townships of Springfield and White Lake are numerous small rural schools, such as White Lake Center Sch, Covell Sch, and Gibson Sch, reflecting the community structure of the mid-1940s. The presence of numerous family-named roads, such as Wardlow Rd and Hitchcock Rd, provides valuable data for genealogists tracing local residency during this era of Michigan's development.
