1968 Map of Pontiac South

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Glacial lake landscapes define the residential and recreational character of Oakland County in this 1968 study. Dense suburban development surrounds Cass Lake, Pine Lake, and Orchard Lake, where the prominent Apple Island sits centrally. The Grand Trunk Western railroad cuts across the northern landscape near Keego Harbor and Sylvan Lake, providing a corridor for the growth of these lakeside communities. The map highlights the area's transition into an educational and leisure hub, with institutions such as St Marys College and Cranbrook Sch established alongside expansive grounds like the Oakland Hills Country Club. Smaller settlements such as Franklin and Bingham Farms show a pattern of estate-style planning, while the Clinton River and Hadsells Pond provide the hydrologic backdrop for the rolling terrain north of Southfield.
