2017 Map of Highland Park

About this map

Highland Park and the surrounding enclaves of Hamtramck, Ferndale, and Hazel Park form a dense grid of residential and industrial history at the intersection of Oakland, Macomb, and Wayne Counties. The landscape is defined by its massive transportation corridors, including the path of the Gtw Rr and the intersection of I-75 and I-696. This urban fabric is punctuated by large institutional spaces, most notably the Sacred Heart Major Seminary and a sprawling network of historic burial grounds like Mount Olivet Cem and Forest Lawn Cem. The map captures the industrial-era layout of Detroit in the 21st century, where the Coleman A. Young Municipal Airport stands as a significant landmark in the northeast corner. Traces of the region's diverse heritage remain visible through named features like Betholem Cem and Saint Clements Cem.
