About this map

Alpena's waterfront and industrial infrastructure define this modern survey of the Lake Huron shoreline. The Thunder Bay River winds through the city center past Cow Island, supporting a network of transport and industry visible in the tracks of the Lake State Railway and the busy Alpena Junction. The city's civic and social history is deeply represented through its cluster of burial grounds, including the Evergreen Cem, Pine Grove Cem, and the Hebrew Benevolent Society Cem, alongside the Alpena County Courthouse.

Beyond the urban core, the landscape transitions into the wetlands and points of Thunder Bay. Features such as Stony Point, Bare Point, and Partridge Point mark the interface between the mainland and the bay's shallow reaches. The presence of a Gravel Pit and several trails, including the N Eastern State Trail, highlights the ongoing use of the land for resource extraction and recreation in the early twenty-first century.
