2017 Map of Kent Lake

About this map

Kent Lake and the winding Huron River dominate this 2017 study of the Livingston and Oakland county border. This glacial landscape is defined by its high density of kettle lakes and wetlands, including Wildwing Lake, Beach Lake, and Lake of the Pines. Significant local history is preserved in the form of several small family and community burial grounds, such as the Bird Cem, Brighton Cem, and the Woodruff Farm Cem. The map illustrates the contemporary residential development pattern of the region, where modern neighborhoods like Cades Cove and Abrams Fork sit adjacent to older landmarks like the Kensington Baptist Church. The topography varies from the low marshy edges of Mann Cr to local elevations at The Bluffs, showing how the natural hydrology continues to dictate the placement of roads and properties across the township lines.
