Industrial activity dominates this coastal landscape on Saginaw Bay, where the massive Strip Mine and its network of conveyor towers highlight the extraction of local gypsum. The settlement of Alabaster serves as the hub for these operations, connected to the interior by the Detroit and Mackinac railroad and a grid of rural roads like Gypsum Road. To the north and south, the shoreline is lined with residential developments including Huron Oaks, Hyde Park, and Harmon City Heights, contrasting the heavy industrial center with recreational and community spaces.
