About this map

Farmington Hills and Southfield characterize the dense suburban layout of this Oakland and Wayne County corridor. The area is defined by a rigorous grid of major arteries, including Grand River Ave and the Northwestern Hwy, which facilitate movement through a landscape of residential neighborhoods and prominent institutions. Educational hubs like the Oakland Community College Orchard Ridge campus and Lawrence Technological University are central to the district's modern identity.

Tracing the natural geography reveals the meandering paths of the River Rouge and its tributaries, such as Pebble Creek and Tarabusi Creek, which provide green space amidst the development. Significant memorial grounds, including the expansive Grand Lawn Cemetery and Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, offer deep genealogical resources. The map also preserves the identity of smaller districts and settlements like Clarenceville, Beech, and Elm, illustrating how local place names persist within the larger metropolitan framework of Detroit and Livonia.
