1989 Map of Foote Site Village

About this map

The Au Sable River corridor in Iosco County serves as a primary focus of this late 1980s survey, illustrating a landscape defined by power generation and military presence. The industrial footprint of the Foote Dam Powerplant and the resulting Foote Dam Pond contrast with the natural surroundings of the Au Sable State Forest and Huron National Forest. To the northeast, the massive runway of Wurtsmith Air Force Base dominates the terrain near Van Etten Lake, marking the strategic importance of this region during the Cold War era. Local history is preserved in smaller landmarks such as the Chippewa Cem and the settlement of Foote Site Village. Education and recreation are well-documented, from the Oscoda High Sch to Camp Nissokone, while the Tuttle Marsh National Wildlife Area reveals the extensive wetlands maintained in the southern portion of the quadrangle.
