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

About Orchard Lake, Michigan
Orchard Lake is a locality in Oakland County, Michigan, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,238. Orchard Lake is located at 42.5831°N, 83.3594°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/Detroit) timezone. ZIP code: 48323.Orchard Lake occupies a glacial basin where the water holds the sky in a mirror of fractured, shifting blue. It lies 1.8 miles north of West Bloomfield, MI (from West Bloomfield, MI: bearing 3°T), and is situated 6.8 miles north of Farmington Hills. The landscape around Orchard Lake is defined by the heavy, moisture-laden air that clings to the shoreline, a legacy of the deep, subterranean ice that carved these hollows into the earth. To the east, the West Bloomfield Trail Network offers a corridor of crushed limestone and shadow, winding through corridors of oak and maple that turn to copper as the season wanes. The light here at dusk possesses a peculiar, heavy clarity, pressing against the surface of the lake and the distant, dark silhouette of Apple Island, which rises from the center like a forgotten, wooded anchor.
History in Orchard Lake is written in the silence of the water and the quiet, persistent flow of the nearby Clinton River, which draws the landscape toward the distant, unseen reaches of Coles Bay. Once a destination for summer retreat and agricultural repose, the economy has shifted toward the steady, modern pulse of residential life and the quiet commerce of those who favor the proximity of the water over the density of the industrial centers nearby. Residents move with an awareness of the topography, often looking toward the horizon where the faint, hazy rise of Waterford Hill breaks the flatness of the terrain. Whether navigating the shaded paths of the West Bloomfield Trail Network or watching the seasonal migration of waterfowl, the inhabitants of Orchard Lake live in a rhythm dictated by the cooling temperature of the lake, which remains a constant, cooling presence against the summer heat.

About This Orchard Lake Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Orchard Lake, Michigan. Coordinates: 42.583089, -83.35938. 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 Orchard Lake includes the ZIP code (48323), telephone area code (313), county seat of Oakland County (Pontiac), and school district assignment.
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.
