About this map

Union Lake and the surrounding glacial lake district of Oakland County define the character of this 1940s landscape. Before the post-war suburban expansion reached full momentum, this area was a patchwork of established lakeside settlements like Commerce and Walled Lake alongside emerging recreation sites. The shoreline of Orchard Lake and Cass Lake shows a dense concentration of private leisure developments, including the Orchard Lake Country Club and Beach Haven Golf Course, signaling the region's early transition into a premium residential and resort destination.
