About this map

The coastal community of East Tawas serves as the focal point for this late 1980s coastal study, where the shoreline of Lake Huron meets the diverse wetlands of Tuttle Marsh National Wildlife Area. The geography is defined by the prominent hook of Tawas Point, which shelters Tawas Bay and contains both Tawas Point State Park and a historic Lighthouse. Inland, the landscape transitions from the residential blocks and Greenwood Cem of the town site into the expansive Huron National Forest.

Detailed infrastructure and social landmarks are noted throughout the Baldwin and Wilber townships, including the Iosco County Airport and the Bright Horizons Learning Center. The map also captures local recreational and utility features such as the Drive-in Theater and the Filtration Plant, alongside natural water bodies like Tawas Lake and Lake Solitude, providing a clear record of the area's development before the end of the century.
