2017 Map of Pontiac South

About this map

Apple Island and the many surrounding glacial basins of Orchard Lake, Cass Lake, and Pine Lake dominate this 2017 survey of Oakland County. The map shows the dense residential growth and preserved recreational waters that characterize the communities of Keego Harbor and Sylvan Lake. In the southern half, the landscape transitions from the lake-studded north to the established residential and institutional corridors of Birmingham, Beverly Hills, and Farmington Hills. Genealogists and local researchers will find several well-documented burial grounds, including the Franklin Cem and East Farmington Cem. The influence of early 20th-century development and estate planning is visible in the presence of the Cranbrook Acad of Art and the Kirk in the Hills Columbarium, while the regional transport network is anchored by the John C Lodge Expy and Telegraph Rd.
