1985 Map of Alba
USGS Topo · Published 1986About this map
Alba serves as the primary settlement within this northern Michigan landscape, situated at the junction of the Chestonia, Star, and Mancelona townships. The map reveals a transition from the structured street grid of the village, which includes a local Cem., to the expansive wooded reaches of the Mackinaw State Forest. Transport history is etched into the terrain by an Old Railroad Grade that winds through the forest, now complemented by modern recreational additions like a Cycle Trail and a Landing Strip. A scattered network of glacial lakes, including Lake Harold, Wetzel Lake, and Hawk Lake, provides a natural contrast to industrial features like the multiple Gravel Pits found near the settlement. The inclusion of a Trailer Park & Campground reflects the area's development as a destination for outdoor recreation during the mid-1980s.
