How to Use This Wolverine Lake, Michigan Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Wolverine 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 Wolverine 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 Wolverine Lake, Michigan
Wolverine Lake is a locality in Oakland County, Michigan, United States. It has a population of approximately 4,544. The population density is 1394.6 people per km². Wolverine Lake is located at 42.5533°N, 83.4864°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/Detroit) timezone. Wolverine Lake is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 48390.Wolverine Lake occupies a low-lying basin where the glacial remnants of the Midwest have settled into a quiet, interconnected series of waterways. It lies 4.2 miles southwest of Commerce Township, MI (from Commerce Township, MI: bearing 223°T), and is situated 7.4 miles northeast of South Lyon. The landscape surrounding Wolverine Lake consists of gentle, verdant swells and marshy depressions that hold the moisture of the seasons, feeding the slow pulse of the Huron River just two miles to the east. At dusk, the light flattens across the water, turning the surface into a sheet of hammered pewter that reflects the darkening silhouettes of the oaks and maples. These inland woods provide a soft, shifting boundary for the residential lots, where the air smells faintly of damp soil and the turning of autumn leaves.
Hiram Sims Memorial Park offers a modest clearing near the water’s edge, providing a place where the pace of the afternoon slows to the rhythm of a cooling breeze. Wolverine Lake emerged from a history of transformation, evolving from early agricultural roots into a residential enclave that maintains a distinct, deliberate distance from the industrial density of the regional manufacturing hubs. The local economy relies on the quiet exchange of commerce within these suburban lanes, far removed from the high-tension pace of the city centers. Residents move through their days with a steady, pragmatic focus, finding a singular sort of grace in the way the land remains unpretentious, defined by the simple intersection of private docks and the persistent, quiet rise of Teeple Hill on the distant horizon.

About This Wolverine Lake Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Wolverine Lake, Michigan. Coordinates: 42.553333, -83.486391. 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 Wolverine Lake includes the ZIP code (48390), telephone area code (313), county seat of Oakland County (Pontiac), and school district assignment (Walled Lake Consolidated Schools).
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.
