About this map

The glacial lakes and country estates of Oakland County define this pre-war landscape, showing the suburban transition between Keego Harbor and Bloomfield Hills. Educational and institutional landmarks are prominent, including the St Marys College and Polish Seminary on the shores of Orchard Lake and the sprawling Cranbrook Sch campus. The northern reach of the map is dominated by a chain of water bodies such as Cass Lake, Sylvan Lake, and Pine Lake, which helped establish the area's character as a retreat for Detroit's elite.
