1982 Map of Freedom

About this map

Straits of Mackinac shoreline and the Lake Huron coast define the northern edge of this northern Michigan landscape, where the settlement of Freedom sits near the South Channel. The transition from the coastal waters to the interior is marked by the expansive Dingman Marsh and several significant inland water bodies, including Lake Paradise and Munro Lake. Human activity is centered around the north-south transit corridors, including the Michigan Northern rail line and the Old Railroad Grade. Local civic life and history are anchored at Hebron Town Hall and the nearby Hebron Cem. Much of the territory is preserved within the Mackinaw State Park and Mackinaw State Forest, reflecting a region dominated by protected timberlands and wetlands between Carp Lake and the coastal heights.
