1986 Map of Elmira

About this map

Mackinaw State Forest dominates this section of Northern Michigan, where the boundary lines of Otsego, Antrim, and Charlevoix counties converge. The small settlement of Elmira serves as a local hub, featuring a Substation and proximity to a local Cem. The landscape is defined by the Boyne Valley and the South Branch Boyne River, alongside a high concentration of glacial lakes including Lake 27, Deer Lake, and Martin Lake. An Old Railroad Grade suggests the region's historic dependence on timber transport, while modern infrastructure like a Pipeline, a Pumping Station, and the WKPK Radio Tower indicate the mid-1980s transition toward industrial and communication utility. A Public Golf Course and numerous small lakes highlight the area's established role in regional recreation.
