Novi, Northville, and Wixom anchor this landscape at the intersection of Oakland, Wayne, and Washtenaw counties. The area is defined by its complex hydrology, with the Novi Lyon Drain, Johnson Drain, and Blackwood Drain weaving through a grid of numbered roads from 5 Mile Rd up to 12 Mile Rd. In the southern reaches of the map, the small settlements of Salem and Brookville sit near family-named cemeteries that provide valuable links for genealogists, including Walker Cem, Thayer Cem, and Lapham Cem. To the east, Maybury State Park offers a dedicated network of recreation paths, including the Maybury State Park Equestrian Trail and Maybury State Park Yellow Biking Trail, showcasing how former rural lands have transitioned into protected public spaces amidst suburban growth.
