The 1896 Illustrated Atlas of Oakland County is one of the best map resources for 19th century Oakland County, primarily because it’s so darned accurate. The surveyors and publishers of the atlas clearly took their time with these maps.
Part of historical map research is map regression – take a location on an old map, and lay newer maps “on top” to physically locate an old feature. This atlas is the best source for this kind of work.
