1968 Map of Highland

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor cuts through western Oakland County, anchoring the early centers of Highland, Clyde, and Rose Center. This late-1960s landscape, with updates through the early 1970s, reveals a community balancing its agricultural roots with growing residential and recreational development. A dense network of glacial lakes, including White Lake, Duck Lake, and Big Lake, defines the local geography. Significant land is dedicated to public use within the Highland State Recreation Area and Pontiac Lake State Recreation Area, showing the region's evolution into a premier outdoor destination for the Detroit metropolitan area. Local genealogy is well-represented by rural landmarks like the Rose Center Cem and Emmanuel Ch, alongside vanished local schoolhouses such as the Duck Lake Sch and Apollo Sch.
