1907 Map of Pontiac

Beyond the urban center, the map reveals a rural economy transitioning into a recreational and residential landscape. Numerous small schoolhouses like Granger School and Proper School dot the townships, while local industry is represented by the Bigelow Mill on the Rouge River. The presence of the Fish Hatchery near Drayton Plains and the Sashabaw Church further north illustrates the established social and civic infrastructure of Oakland County at the start of the century.
