2023 Map of East Tawas

About this map

East Tawas occupies the coastal curve of Tawas Bay along the Lake Huron shoreline, serving as a gateway to the dense woodlands of the Huron National Forest. This mapping of the Iosco County coast captures a transition from the established residential blocks of the town to the recreational and aviation infrastructure nearby, including the Iosco County Airport. The landscape is defined by its diverse water features, from the protected waters of Lake Solitude and the expanse of Tawas Lake to the drainage networks of Silver Creek and Tuttle Ditch. Genealogists and local historians will find a cluster of three distinct burial grounds just north of the town center: Saint Joseph's Cem, American Legion Cem, and Greenwood Cem. The map illustrates the interface between the Lake Huron waterfront and the managed forest lands that dominate the northern interior of the quadrangle.
