New Oakland County Road Maps Available for Free

A new Oakland County road map — the first in five years — is now available from the Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC).

The new map is drawn from the Oakland County Enterprise Geographic Information System (GIS) program, making it the most up-to-date and accurate street map available in Oakland County.

“We feel that one of the services we can provide as the county road commission is to offer maps to those using the roads we maintain,” stated RCOC Board Chairman Eric Wilson. “This map has the most up-to-date road information available anywhere forOakland County.”

RCOC Vice-Chairman Greg Jamian pointed out that the agency has saved money by reducing the frequency of printing county road maps. “We used to print new maps every two years,” he stated. “However, we have reduced the frequency of the printing to conserve scarce road dollars.”

RCOC Commissioner Ron Fowkes added that the new map, for the first time, includes a complete directory of all roads under RCOC jurisdiction. “This is the first time we have put a complete directory on the back of the map,” Fowkes said. “This makes it much easier to find a specific road in the county.”

The new maps are available free of charge, but with a limit of two per person. Maps can be picked up at RCOC’s two administrative offices:

1. 31001 Lahser Road (at 13 Mile) in Beverly Hills
2. 2420 Pontiac Lake Road (at County Center Drive West) in Waterford Twp.

Additionally, the Road Commission will mail maps to those requesting them (up to two) upon receipt of payment to cover the cost of postage to mail the maps. To receive maps by mail, provide a check made out to Road Commission for Oakland County (the name must be exactly as written here), and provide the exact cost of the postage for the map(s). The postage rate for one map is $1.70. The rate for two maps is $2.50.

For more information about the maps, call the RCOC Clerk’s Office at (248) 645-2000, ext. 2290.
