1968 Map of Kent Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

The Proving Ground and its expansive testing tracks dominate the center of this landscape, illustrating the automotive industry's spatial influence on the Livingston and Oakland County border. To the east and south, the Huron River corridor anchors a chain of major public spaces, including the massive Kensington Metropolitan Park and the Island Lake State Recreation Area. These parks surround the sprawling waters of Kent Lake, which features several developed picnic areas and boat launches that reflect the region's mid-century recreational growth. Evidence of earlier settlement is found at the Brighton Cem and the local Townhall, while the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad cuts across the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map also documents localized developments such as Lakeside Camp and Camp Dearborn Park, showing how the area balanced heavy industrial testing with private and municipal leisure retreats.
