1955 Map of Comins

About this map

The boundary between Montmorency and Oscoda counties bisects a landscape defined by state and federal forest lands, including the Thunder Bay River State Forest and the Huron National Forest. In the mid-1950s, this region was a quiet network of small settlements and recreational areas. The village of Comins serves as a local hub near the Au Sable State Forest, while the presence of the Sheridan Valley Ski Area and numerous lakes like Avery Lake, Sage Lakes, and Little Grass Lake points to the area's established role in Northern Michigan tourism and outdoor life. Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy landmarks such as the Finnish Cem, Loud Cem, and the Loud Sch, which offer a glimpse into the community's social fabric during this era. The map also records early infrastructure like the Lockwood Lake Road and Greely Road, connecting remote homesteads and seasonal camps across the wooded terrain.
