The dense suburban corridor of western Wayne and southern Oakland counties is captured here, centered on the historic boundaries of Northville and Novi. This area, traditionally defined by the headwaters of the Middle River Rouge and its tributaries like Johnson Drain, shows the intricate lattice of residential developments such as Grand View Acres and Farmington Acres. The map reveals a high concentration of institutional and commemorative sites, including several historic burial grounds like the Yerkes Cem and the Farmington Quaker Cem. Educational hubs are prominent, with Schoolcraft College and Madonna University serving as major landmarks. The landscape is also marked by engineered water bodies like Phoenix Lake and Wilcox Lake, which stand as recreation and drainage points amidst the expanding road networks of Livonia and Farmington Hills.
