About this map

The city of Alpena dominates this 2014 survey, situated where the Thunder Bay River flows into the protected waters of Thunder Bay. The urban core is well-defined, showing the dense network of streets and the prominent Alpena Community Coll campus. For those tracing local heritage, a significant cluster of burial grounds is located west of the river, including Evergreen Cem, Pine Grove Cem, and Hebrew Benevolent Society Cem, alongside Grace Lutheran Cem and Holy Cross Cem.

Southward, the shoreline of Lake Huron is marked by distinctive geological features like Stony Point and Partridge Point, which define the entrance to Squaw-Bay. The map also captures the transition from the industrial and residential center of Alpena to the surrounding wetlands and smaller water bodies such as Mud Lake and Lake Besser, illustrating how the region's geography has shaped its growth and layout.
