1958 Map of Bayshore

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The coastal landscapes of Lake Michigan and Little Traverse Bay define this 1958 survey, capturing the northern Michigan shoreline before modern expansion. Significant transport corridors like the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad connect the lakeside settlements of Harbor Springs and Bayshore, reflecting a period when rail remained a vital link for the region's industry and tourism. Inland, the map reveals a network of rural communities such as Horton Bay and Ironton, interspersed with local landmarks like Greensky Ch and the North Bay Cem. The presence of the Fivemile Sch (Abandoned) and other country schoolhouses like Murray Sch and Maplewood Sch provides a tangible look at the evolving social geography of Charlevoix and Emmet counties. From the deep waters of Lake Charlevoix to the protected acreage of the Pigeon River State Forest, the sheet documents a balance between small-town settlement and the enduring natural features of the lake country.
