Explore Commerce Township, Michigan, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Commerce Township, Michigan. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Michigan or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Commerce Township.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Commerce Township represents a distinct expanse of land where the horizon is defined by the soft, rising contours of the earth rather than the edge of any distant horizon. It lies 4.2 miles northeast of Wixom, MI (from Wixom, MI: bearing 43°T), and is situated 7.8 miles northwest of Farmington Hills. The terrain here is defined by the steady presence of Stuart Lake, which sits at the very center of the local geography. Just a short distance away, the Huron River winds through the landscape, providing a quiet, constant movement of water across the plains. Residents often find themselves walking through the trails of Hickory Glen Park, which serves as a protected sanctuary within the broader landscape. On clear days, the distant silhouette of Teeple Hill emerges as a subtle landmark against the sky. The light here at dusk settles heavily over the grass, turning the fields into a deep, muted shade of gray before the stars appear.
History in Commerce Township is deeply tied to the evolution of the regional economy, which shifted from early agricultural roots toward the diverse industrial and professional sectors that define the modern era. Commerce Township maintains a steady pace of life, supported by a mix of local businesses and larger commercial enterprises that keep the economy moving forward. The legacy of the automotive industry in the surrounding region continues to influence the local workforce, even as the township diversifies into technology and service-oriented sectors. While the past remains visible in the older architecture of the region, the focus is largely on the contemporary needs of its residents. The air often carries the faint, metallic scent of industry tempered by the smell of damp soil from the nearby woods.
Cultural life in Commerce Township revolves around the shared spaces where neighbors gather to mark the passage of the seasons. Hickory Glen Park acts as a hub for outdoor activity, providing a place where the rhythm of the day feels dictated by the natural environment rather than the frantic pace of the outside world. While many notable figures have passed through the broader region, the identity of the township is built primarily on the collective contributions of those who live and work here daily. Local events frequently center on the changing colors of the landscape, celebrating the transition from the vibrant green of spring to the stark, quiet beauty of winter. The atmosphere remains grounded, favoring a quiet appreciation for the land and the people who maintain it.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
