1907 Map of Pontiac
USGS Topo · Published 1937About this map
The sprawling lakelands of Oakland County dominate this landscape, showing the transition from early rural townships to the growing industrial center at Pontiac. The map captures a dense network of water bodies, from the large Cass Lake and Orchard Lake to the complex systems of Williams Lake and Watkins Lake. Transportation is in a state of flux, with the Orchard Lake Turnpike and the Detroit and Pontiac Electric R R connecting the emerging suburban settlements. Institutions of the era are prominently marked, including the Asylum on the outskirts of Pontiac and a Military Academy situated on the shore of Orchard Lake.
