About this map

Kent Lake and the winding Huron River corridor dominate this landscape on the border of Livingston and Oakland Counties. The map reveals a high density of small kettle lakes and wetlands, including Sears Lake, Honeywell Lake, and Wildwing Lake, reflecting the region's complex post-glacial geography. The historical footprint of the area is well-preserved through numerous small burying grounds, such as Bird Cem, Brighton Cem, and the Woodruff Farm Cem, which are scattered among contemporary developments like The Bluffs.

Transportation and infrastructure are anchored by the site of Old Kensington and the presence of the Oakland Southwest Airport to the southeast. The survey highlights a mix of rural legacy and residential growth, where major corridors like N Old US-23 and Grand River Ave intersect with smaller, family-named routes. Water remains a central theme, with Woodruff Cr and Mann Cr feeding into the larger river system, supporting the local ecosystem and recreation areas.
