About this map

The Thunder Bay River and its network of glacial lakes dominate this Montmorency County landscape, captured during a period of recreational development and quiet rural residence. Centered on Avery Lake, the map details a region defined by its water and woods, where seasonal tourism at the Sheridan Valley Ski Area and public access points like Big Oaks State Forest Campground complement the agricultural and transport corridors of County Rd 612.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Finnish Cemetery in the southern portion of the quadrangle, a site reflecting the specific ethnic heritage of early settlers in Avery Township. The infrastructure of the era is well-documented, from the small Atlanta Municipal Airport in the northeast to the sprawling series of family-named trails and roads like Hossler Rd and Vondette Rd that link remote lakes including Morning Star Lake and Mitchell Lake.
