1966 Map of Au Sable Point

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Au Sable Point Lighthouse stands as the primary landmark on this mid-1960s survey of the Alger County shoreline. The map documents a rugged stretch of the Upper Peninsula shortly after the establishment of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, showing the early footprint of the Au Sable Point Campground and a network of trails. Inland, the topography transitions into the Grand Sable State Forest, where Sullivan Lake and Sullivan Creek drain toward the massive expanse of Lake Superior. The detail captured here reflects a landscape managed for conservation and public recreation, tracing the winding course of the Hurricane River as it meets the lake. This specific edition provides an essential record of the area’s coastal features and forest boundaries before modern development or shifting sands altered the shoreline's character.
