2019 Map of Grace

About this map

Lake Huron defines the eastern edge of this coastal Michigan landscape, where the settlements of Grace and Huron Beach sit along the shoreline of Presque Isle County. The interior is a dense network of forest roads and waterways, characterized by the winding path of the Black Mallard River as it flows toward Black Mallard Lake. This 2019 survey documents the modern layout of the Black Mountain Recreation Area, a significant regional tract of public land interspersed with several inland water bodies like Lake Sixteen and Clear Lake. Local genealogy and history are preserved at sites like Grace Cem near the southern boundary and the State Forest Cem tucked away near the lakeshore. The map provides a clear view of the transition from the protected woodlands of the recreation area to the developed harbor facilities at Hammond Bay Harbor.
