1973 Map of Curtis East

About this map

Manistique Lake and South Manistique Lake anchor this 1970s landscape on the boundary of Luce and Mackinac counties. The settlement of Curtis serves as a central hub between the lakes, while the surrounding terrain is dominated by the sprawling reaches of the Mackinac State Forest and Tahquamenon River State Forest. The map documents a transition from active industry to protected wilderness, evidenced by numerous Gravel Pits and the lingering path of the Old Railroad Grade cutting through the timberlands.
