About this map

The Lake Huron coastline defines this landscape, where residential developments like Lake Huron Beach, Huron Oaks, and Hyde Park line the shore north of Alabaster. This community, historically significant for its gypsum deposits, remains a focal point of the region. The map details the local infrastructure supporting these coastal settlements, including Alabaster Rd and Gypsum Rd, which lead inland toward the wetlands of Kendall Marsh and Crowell Swamp.

Southward across the Iosco Co and Arenac Co boundary, the terrain transitions into a network of drainage systems and small waterways such as the L-Br Au Gres River and Bear Cr. Genealogists will find the Alabaster Township Cem near Benson Park, while the prominent Ipperwash Scarp provides a notable topographical landmark in the southwest. The presence of Alabaster Whitney Drain and Dime Drain reflects the complex water management required for this low-lying lakeside environment.
