1907 Map of Pontiac

About this map

Orchard Lake and its surrounding waters define this landscape of early twentieth-century Oakland County, where recreational and institutional development began to shape the outskirts of the growing county seat. The Clinton River threads through a dense network of lakes, including Cass Lake and Elizabeth Lake, supporting early industries like the Bigelow Mill and a local Fish Hatchery. The map documents a transition in transportation, showing the established Grand Trunk RR alongside the Detroit and Pontiac Electric RR, signaling the arrival of the interurban era.
