2017 Map of Pontiac North

About this map

The glacial landscape of northern Oakland County is defined by an intricate network of kettle lakes and terminal moraines, with Lake Angelus and Elizabeth Lake serving as central landmarks. This 2017 survey documents the modern suburban expansion of Pontiac and Auburn Hills, yet traces of the region's earlier character remain visible in its historic burial grounds, including the centrally located Oak Hill Cem and the more rural Sashabaw Cem to the northwest. The terrain is notably varied, rising from the Dawson Millpond to the prominent heights of Pine Knob and Mt Judah. Researchers can trace the evolution of local infrastructure along the corridors of Wide Track Dr W and the historic Saginaw Trl, while the settlement of Clintonville marks the interface between the dense residential grid and the sprawling lakefront properties that characterize the area.
