About this map

Alpena and Rogers City anchor this coastal survey of Michigan’s northeastern shore along Lake Huron during the early 1980s. The landscape is defined by the heavy presence of the Mackinaw State Forest and a complex hydrological network including Grand Lake, Long Lake, and the sprawling Fletcher Pond. Along the jagged coastline, prominent features like Presque Isle, False Presque Isle, and Adams Point overlook a series of bays such as Thunder Bay and North Bay.

Industrial and transportation infrastructure is evident through the path of the Detroit and Mackinac Railroad and the large Quarry situated near the coast. Smaller settlements and crossroads like Posen, Lachine, and Metz dot the interior, while specialized areas such as the Michigan Islands National Wildlife Area and P H Hoeft State Park signify the region's commitment to conservation and recreation amidst its working timberlands and maritime centers.
