About this map

The waters of Lake Orion and Lakeville Lake anchor this 2011 survey of northern Oakland County, where glacial geology has left a dense concentration of kettle lakes and complex drainage patterns. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of Paint Creek and the West Branch Stony Creek, interspersed with local landmarks like Grampian Hills. This period shows a blend of established lakeside communities and specialized land use, including the Leonard Gas Field in the northeast and the Handleman Sky Ranch Airport situated near the rolling terrain of the north.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several historic burial grounds such as North Oxford Cemetery, Evergreen Cemetery, and Kline Cemetery. The transition from rural crossroad settlements like Campbells Corner and Rudds Mill to more developed residential areas is evident, while recreation is represented by features like the Mulberry Hills Golf Course and the unique geography of Park Island.
