2014 Map of Alabaster

About this map

The coastal village of Alabaster and its surrounding township occupy this shoreline along Lake Huron, where the industrial character of the land meets residential beach communities. Large excavations near Gypsum Rd reflect the area’s long history of mineral extraction, which shaped the local economy and infrastructure. Along Us 23, a series of named residential developments such as Lake Huron Beach, Oak Wood Shores, and Cedar Haven line the coast, demonstrating the shift toward seasonal and permanent waterfront living. To the south, the terrain transitions into the forested lowlands of the Ipperwash Scarp, where the East Br Au Gres River and drainage networks like the Alabaster Whitney Drain define the landscape. Genealogists may find interest in the Alabaster Township Cem, located just inland from the lake, while landmarks like Alabaster Junction and Huron Oaks provide clear points for locating mid-century property and family homesteads.
