About this map

White Lake and its intricate shoreline dominate the center of this Oakland County landscape, as mapped by the U.S. Geological Survey in the early 1940s. The region is characterized by a dense concentration of glacial lakes, including Big Lake, Brendel Lake, and Teeple Lake, which supported growing lakeside communities like Seven Harbors. The settlement pattern reveals a transition from traditional rural agriculture to recreational residency, evidenced by numerous small district schoolhouses such as Covell Sch, Gibson Sch, and Thompson Sch scattered among the township sections.
