1964 Map of Albany Island

About this map

The southern coastline of the Upper Peninsula where Lake Huron meets the timberlands of the Munuscong State Forest is defined by a series of protected inlets and offshore islands. The 1964 topography shows the transition between the townships of Clark and Detour, characterized by low-lying wetlands and seasonal drainage systems like Joe Straw Creek and Trout Creek. Local landmarks such as Huron Point and Albany Island shelter Albany Harbor, offering a look at the natural seafaring geography before later recreational developments took hold.
