2023 Map of Rochester

About this map

The Clinton River and its various tributaries, including Paint Creek and Galloway Creek, form the central hydrological spine of this Oakland County landscape. This modern survey captures the complex suburban transition from the historic center of Rochester to the industrial and academic corridors of Auburn Hills and Pontiac. The map reflects a densely developed area balanced by significant green space, notably the Bald Mountain State Recreation Area in the northwest. Several institutions of higher learning, such as Oakland University and Rochester College, are prominently situated among the residential subdivisions and arterial roads like Woodward Ave. Local history is preserved in numerous burial grounds scattered across the terrain, from the large Mount Avon Cem near the heart of town to the more secluded Guardian Angel Cem and Bigler Cem, offering a detailed look at the region's contemporary geography.
