2014 Map of West Highland

About this map

West Highland and the surrounding charter townships of Oakland and Livingston Counties are defined by a complex glacial topography of kettle lakes and rolling hills. This 2014 survey captures the persistent rural-residential character of the region, where crossroads settlements like Rose Corners, Hallers Corners, and Hickory Ridge anchor a landscape dotted with significant water bodies including Dunham Lake, Tipsico Lake, and Highland Lake. The map details a transition from the agricultural heritage found along Clyde Rd and Faussett Rd to the suburban expansion near Hartland and Highland. Genealogists will find the locations of several historic burial grounds, such as Beebe Cem and Hodge Cem, which remain as markers of the area's early families. The drainage of N Ore Cr and the clustering of lakes like Big School Lot Lake and Little School Lot Lake illustrate the unique hydrography that has shaped local development and recreation for over a century.
