About this map

The Au Sable River winds through the heart of the Huron National Forest, anchoring a landscape defined by water management and recreational transit. The massive Foote Dam Pond dominates the central terrain, with Foote Site Village situated just downstream. This area serves as a significant crossroads for outdoor recreation, featuring the MI Shore to Shore Horse&Hike trail and the Eagle Run Hike & Ski Trail. To the northeast, the presence of the Oscoda-Wurtsmith Airport and Van Etten Lake signals the transition toward more developed infrastructure near the Lake Huron coast.

Smaller settlements and rural features like Wilber and the Chippewa Cem provide grounding for local historians and genealogists. The land is crisscrossed by specialized drainage features such as Tuttle Ditch and State Ditch, alongside a network of forest roads including Alvin Rd and Bissonette Rd. The map illustrates a complex balance between the natural flow of the Pine River and the industrial-era modifications of the Au Sable waterway.
