1968 Map of Oxford

About this map

Glacial lakes and gravel extraction define the landscape of northern Oakland County during this late-1960s survey. The village of Oxford serves as a central hub, situated where the Gtw and Penn Central railroads intersect. To the north, the small settlement of Oakwood remains largely rural, while the southern reaches near Lake Orion Heights and Bellevue show increasing suburban density. The topography is dotted with dozens of water bodies, from the sprawling Indianwood Lake to smaller basins like Tan Lake and Squaw Lake.
