About this map

Glacial lake clusters and suburban development define the landscape of south Oakland County in the early 1950s. The region is marked by an extensive network of recreational and institutional grounds, including the Oakland Hills Country Club and St Marys College on the shores of Pine Lake. Residential expansion is visible through numerous neighborhood schools like Bloomfield Village Sch and Walnut Lake Sch, while the Grand Trunk Western RR and the Northwestern Highway facilitate connections to the urban centers of Pontiac and Detroit. Traditional burial grounds such as Pine Lake Cem and Franklin Cem remain as markers of earlier settlement. Small aviation interests are represented by the Krist-Port Airport near the border of Farmington, showing the era's diversifying transportation infrastructure alongside established corridors like Telegraph Road.
