1966 Map of Au Sable Point

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Au Sable Point reaches into the cold waters of Lake Superior, serving as a critical navigation point marked by its historic Lighthouse. This mid-1960s survey captures the area at a significant moment of transition as the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore was being formally established. The landscape is dominated by the dense woodlands of the Grand Sable State Forest, where the terrain is punctuated by small water bodies like Sullivan Lake and the drainage of the Hurricane River. Coastal features such as Sullivans Landing and the Au Sable Point Campground highlight the area's shift from a rugged maritime and timber environment to one defined by conservation and recreation. The map details various trails and unimproved roads, providing a precise record of the shoreline before modern development altered the remote character of this Lake Superior stretch.
