About this map

Lake Angelus and its surrounding wetlands form the center of this Oakland County landscape, recorded during a period of significant local growth. The map illustrates the transition from the lake-dotted rural townships of Independence and Orion to the expanding urban grid of northern Pontiac. A concentration of civic and social infrastructure is evident, including the expansive grounds of the Pontiac State Asylum and several neighborhood institutions like the Bethel Tabernacle and Pontiac General Hospital.
