1952 Map of Pontiac South

About this map

The rolling lake district of southern Oakland County is characterized here by a densifying network of mid-century residential and institutional developments. Suburban expansion is evident as Pontiac and Bloomfield Hills extend toward the numerous water bodies, including Cass Lake, Pine Lake, and Orchard Lake, which features the prominent Apple Island. Large institutional footprints like St Marys College and Cranbrook Sch define the social landscape, while the Sarah Fisher Childrens Home and Protestant Childrens Home of Detroit reflect the era's social infrastructure.
