1958 Map of Bayshore

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Little Traverse Bay and the northern reaches of Lake Charlevoix dominate this late-1950s survey of the Michigan shoreline. The landscape is a network of small settlements and rural landmarks, from the coastal village of Bayshore to the inland community at Horton Bay. Transportation is anchored by the Chesapeake and Ohio line, which skirts the northern coast past Big Rock Point and Ninemile Point. For local historians, the map preserves the locations of numerous community hubs, including Greensky Ch, the Grange Hall, and several family-named burial grounds like Dyer Cem and Undine Cem. The presence of the Drive-in Theater near Bayshore and the Pigeon River State Forest to the southeast reflects a mid-century balance of modern recreation and protected timberland. Further south, the ferry crossing at Ironton remains a vital link across the narrow channel connecting the main lake to its southern arm.
