1957 Map of Cheboygan

About this map

The industrial and maritime hub of Cheboygan sits at the confluence of the Cheboygan River and the South Channel, serving as a gateway to the Straits of Mackinac in the late 1950s. This survey reveals a landscape where rail lines like the New York Central and the Detroit and Mackinac converge at the port, supporting local operations like the city Waterworks. Away from the urban center, the map details the rugged interior of the Mackinaw State Forest and the early recreational developments around Mullett Lake, including Aloha State Park. Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed plotting of rural landmarks, such as Calvary Cem, St Francis Cem, and several numbered schoolhouses like School No 2 and School No 7, which once anchored now-vanished rural communities across Benton and Aloha townships.
