How to Use This Lake Angelus, Michigan Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lake Angelus, 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 Lake Angelus.
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.

Lake Angelus is located at 42.6917°N, 83.3255°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/Detroit) timezone. Lake Angelus is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 48326.Lake Angelus occupies a basin of glacial-sculpted earth where the light at dusk turns the water into a sheet of hammered pewter. It lies 4.0 miles southeast of Independence, MI (from Independence, MI: bearing 127°T), and is situated 8.9 miles west-northwest of Rochester Hills. Dense stands of hardwoods define the perimeter of the landscape, casting long, fractured shadows over the terrain that rises toward the modest elevation of Mount Judah. A mile to the west, the flow of Galloway Creek cuts a quiet path through the soil, its movement barely audible against the stillness of the surrounding woods. Within the quiet borders of City of Lake Angelus Park A, the air carries a crisp, terrestrial scent, devoid of any salt or brine, grounding the visitor in the deep, inland heart of the region.
History clings to the land here in the way the frost holds to the late autumn grass, marking a transition from the heavy industry of the nearby manufacturing corridors to a quieter, residential existence. Lake Angelus evolved from a rural expanse into a place of singular privacy, where the local economy shifted its focus from the extraction of resources to the preservation of a deliberate, slow-moving domesticity. The rhythm of daily life is measured not by the clockwork of the factories, but by the subtle seasonal shifts in the water levels and the migration of birds through the timber. It is a place where the architecture of the homes remains secondary to the permanence of the ground, maintaining a character that values seclusion and the quiet observation of the changing sky.

About This Lake Angelus Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Lake Angelus, Michigan. Coordinates: 42.69171, -83.325533. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Lake Angelus includes the ZIP code (48326), telephone area code (313), county seat of Oakland County (Pontiac), and school district assignment (Pontiac City School District).
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.
