1985 Map of Pontiac

About this map

Pontiac and the surrounding lake country of Oakland Co are defined by a complex mosaic of glacial kettle lakes and expanding suburban centers in the mid-1980s. Large water bodies like Cass Lake, Orchard Lake, and Pontiac Lake anchor the landscape, while the regional transportation network is dominated by the Grand Trunk Western RR and the Chesapeake and Ohio RR. The map illustrates the significant investment in public lands during this era, with vast tracts dedicated to the Holly State Recreation Area and Highland State Recreation Area.
