1986 Map of Afton

About this map

Mackinaw State Forest dominates this northern Michigan landscape, where the Pigeon River and its tributaries carve through the timberlands of Cheboygan County. The settlement of Afton sits at the northwestern edge of the map, while Fingerboard Corner and Kimberly mark crossroads within the wooded interior. This mid-1980s survey illustrates a landscape primarily defined by water and forest management, featuring numerous lakes such as Dog Lake, Lake Sixteen, and Osmun Lake. A clear industrial and transit history is evidenced by an Old RR Grade cutting through the southeastern sections near W McMasters Creek, providing a tangible link for those researching the region's logging or rail heritage. The presence of a Gravel Pit and a Radio Tower suggests the modern utilitarian uses of the land amidst the broader wilderness areas.
