1955 Map of Comins

About this map

Thunder Bay River State Forest dominates this mid-century landscape in the northern Lower Peninsula, where the transition between Montmorency and Oscoda counties is marked by dense clusters of lakes and pockets of early development. The settlement of Comins stands as the primary hub in the south, while the northern sections are largely defined by a network of water bodies such as Avery Lake and Lake Fifteen. Notable for local researchers are the small-scale community markers of the era, including the Loud Sch, the Finnish Cem, and the Loud Cem. The presence of the Sheridan Valley Ski Area and the Atlanta Landing Field reflects a landscape increasingly utilized for recreation and regional transport during the post-war period. Topographic details reveal the complex hydrology of the region, from the Bushman Swamp to the unique Boiling Springs, showing how natural features dictated the placement of early gravel pits and forest boundaries.
