About this map

Kent Lake and the winding Huron River dominate the landscape at the meeting point of Livingston and Oakland Counties. This 2019 survey captures a heavily recreational and residential landscape, characterized by numerous glacial lakes and dedicated outdoor spaces. The southern portion of the map is defined by the Island Lake Rec. Area - River Trail and several other trail systems, including the Island Lake Rec. Area - Paved Hiking and Biking Trail, which snake around Island Lake and Briggs Lake.

Genealogists will find significant value in the clustered historical burial sites throughout the area, such as Old Kensington Cem, Woodruff Farm Cem, and the Kensington Baptist Church Cem. These features, along with names like Bird Cem and Brighton Cem, offer a connection to the early settlement of the region. Distinctive terrain features such as The Bluffs and smaller water bodies like Wildwing Lake and Lake Serenity highlight the intricate natural geography that has shaped the modern development of this lake-strewn corner of Michigan.
