1964 Map of Evergreen Shores

About this map

St Ignace and the shoreline of Lake Huron anchor this mid-1960s study of the Straits of Mackinac. The map details a landscape defined by the transition from the maritime commerce of St Martin Bay and Horseshoe Bay to the dense woods of the Hiawatha National Forest. Significant local landmarks like the towering Castle Rock and Rabbit Back Peak stand as prominent navigation points along the coast. On the mainland, the alignment of the Soo Line railroad and the Mackinac Trail illustrate the transportation corridors that served Evergreen Shores. In the southeast corner, a detailed inset of Mackinac Island includes the Mackinac Island State Park and British Landing, documenting the island's unique layout and preserved historic grounds before the late-century tourism boom.
