1964 Map of Evergreen Shores

About this map

St Ignace serves as the gateway to the Upper Peninsula, situated along the northern shores of the Straits of Mackinac. This mid-1960s perspective captures the shoreline development along the Mackinac Trail and the emerging infrastructure of the Mackinac County Airport. The coastline is defined by distinctive formations like Castle Rock and Rabbit Back Peak, while the interior remains dominated by the Hiawatha National Forest. To the east, the map reveals the northwestern tip of Mackinac Island, including the site of British Landing and the extensive grounds of Mackinac Island State Park. The maritime character of the region is evident in the transition from the sheltered Horseshoe Bay to the open waters of St Martin Bay and Lake Huron. Local sites like the St Ignace Cem and Evergreen Shores provide important reference points for genealogists and regional historians.
