1997 Map of Rochester
USGS Topo · Published 2000About this map
Rochester Hills and Auburn Hills anchor this detailed study of northeastern Oakland County at the close of the 20th century. The landscape is characterized by the convergence of several waterways, including the winding Clinton River, Paint Creek, and Sargent Creek, which dictate the local topography and placement of early roads like Tienken Road. The map reveals a transition from the preserved natural space of the Bald Mountain State Recreation Area in the northwest to the dense institutional and suburban growth of Rochester, visible in the concentration of educational sites like Michigan Christian College and Oakland Community College. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, including the centrally located Mt Avon Cemetery and the rural Paint Creek Cem, providing critical landmarks for genealogical research in this rapidly developing corridor.
