1968 Map of West Highland

About this map

Glacial topography and numerous kettle lakes define the boundary between Livingston and Oakland counties in this detailed survey. Small agricultural and residential nodes such as Tyrone Center, Rose Corners, and West Highland anchor the landscape, connected by a network of established roads like Germany Rd and Faussett Rd. The presence of the Summit Ski Club and the YMCA Camp near Fish Lake illustrates the region's transition into a recreational destination for nearby metropolitan areas during the late 1960s. Local history is well-preserved through several family and community landmarks, including the Gardner Cem and Hodge Cem. The hydrology of the area is particularly complex, featuring chains of water bodies from Tipsico Lake to the Hartland Millpond and Dunham Lake, highlighting the natural drainage patterns of Ore Creek before significant modern suburban expansion altered the local character.
