About this map

Adams Point projects into the expansive waters of Lake Huron on this northern Michigan peninsula, where industrial activity and coastal hydrology define the landscape of Pulawski. A large Quarry dominates the landform at the point, indicating the region's significant extractive history during the early 1970s. This industrial footprint is supported by the Detroit and Mackinac railroad, which skirts the western edge of the land near Little Lake.

The interior terrain is marked by a network of freshwater bodies, including the centrally located Swan Lake and the Swan River. To the east, the shoreline is punctuated by Big Trout Lake and Little Trout Lake, tucked behind the coastal barrier. The map provides a precise record of the shoreline and elevation contours just before significant modern development, capturing the balance between the working Quarry and the natural water systems of the Presque Isle coast.
