2017 Map of Royal Oak

About this map

Woodward Ave serves as the central spine for this dense metropolitan corridor, connecting the northern suburbs of Royal Oak, Berkley, and Southfield directly into the heart of Detroit. The map illustrates a landscape defined by its educational and religious institutions, including the Univ of Detroit Mercy and Marygrove Coll in the south, and Lawrence Technological Univ to the northwest. The presence of specialized centers such as the Yeshiva Gedolah of Greater Detroit and the Michigan Jewish Institute highlights the area's diverse cultural and community infrastructure. This modern survey captures the fully developed grid of the Oakland and Wayne County line, where major thoroughfares like the John C Lodge Expy and James Couzens Fwy facilitate heavy regional transit between residential enclaves like Lathrup Village and Pleasant Ridge. Large green spaces are primarily accounted for by historic memorial grounds, notably Woodlawn Cem and Forest Hill Cem.
