2014 Map of Milford

About this map

Milford and Wixom anchor this landscape of the Detroit metropolitan fringe, where the Huron River and various glacial lakes dictate the pattern of 21st-century suburban development. Significant local history is preserved in sites like Oak Grove Cem and Saint Mary's Cem, while the industrial presence of General Motors Rd and Wixom Trl highlights the area's automotive heritage. The map details a dense network of water bodies, from Hubbell Pond to the expansive Wolverine Lake and Lake Sherwood, which have historically driven the residential character of these Oakland County communities. Transportation corridors like Grand River Ave and Pontiac Trl reveal the enduring importance of historic through-ways in connecting older village centers like New Hudson and Glengary with the expanding reach of the surrounding metropolitan region.
