2011 Map of Pontiac North

About this map

The Clinton River winds through this detailed survey of northern Oakland County, connecting a dense network of glacial lakes including Lake Angelus and Lake Oakland. The transition from the urban grid of Pontiac to the surrounding suburban communities of Auburn Hills and Clintonville is clearly defined, showing the development patterns of the early twenty-first century. A significant local landmark, the McMath-Hulbert Observatory, stands near the northern shore of Lake Angelus, while the topography rises at Pine Knob and Mount Judah. Genealogists will find several major burial grounds documented, including the sprawling Oak Hill Cemetery and Mount Hope Cemetery near the city center. The map also records the varied recreation and industry of the area, from the Silver Lake Golf Course to the waters of Dawsons Millpond and Sylvan Lake in the south.
