About this map

Cheboygan sits at the northern terminus of the lower peninsula, where the Cheboygan River meets the South Channel of the Straits of Mackinac. This 1982 provisional survey captures the city's maritime and industrial character, from the Detroit & Mackinac railroad tracks to the piers lining Duncan Bay. Local landmarks like the Pine Hill Cem, Westside Sch, and Eastside Sch provide clear reference points for family historians.

Across the water, the southern tip of Bois Blanc Island reveals a more secluded landscape. The small settlement at Pointe Aux Pins and the sheltered Waterways Harbor stand in contrast to the developed mainland. The map also delineates the extensive Mackinaw State Forest and Cheboygan State Park, showing how much of this coastline remained dedicated to public forest and conservation into the late 20th century.
