2011 Map of Northville

About this map

Novi, Farmington Hills, and Northville anchor this map of a densely developed suburban landscape at the edge of the Detroit metropolitan area. The region is defined by its intricate network of numbered roads, including W 12 Mile Rd and 5 Mile Rd, and the major thoroughfare of Grand River Ave. Numerous historic cemeteries, such as Yerkes Cemetery and Rural Hill Cemetery, are preserved among the modern residential subdivisions and commercial corridors. The hydrology is dominated by the Middle River Rouge and several reservoirs like Phoenix Lake and Wilcox Lake. This survey illustrates the mature suburban sprawl of the early 21st century, where large-scale institutions like Madonna University and Wayne State University Oakland Center stand alongside established recreational sites such as Northville Downs and the Independence Green Golf Course.
