2017 Map of Rochester

About this map

Rochester and its surrounding suburban landscape are defined by a complex network of residential expansion, institutional development, and legacy water systems. The map details the modern footprint of Oakland University, Rochester College, and Baker College, illustrating the area's role as a significant educational hub. Historic foundations remain visible through several established burial grounds, including Mount Avon Cemetery and the Aaron Webster Cemetery, providing valuable points of reference for genealogists. The terrain transitions from the protected green space of the Bald Mountain State Recreation Area in the northwest to the dense residential corridors of Auburn Hills and Rochester Hills. The conversion of older infrastructure is evident in the Macomb Orchard Rail Trail, while the natural course of the Clinton River and Paint Creek continues to influence the layout of local roads like Dutton Road and Walton Boulevard.
