About this map

Camp Grayling Military Reservation dominates the central landscape of this 1980s topographic study, surrounded by a complex network of public lands including the Au Sable State Forest, Mackinaw State Forest, and Huron National Forest. The map documents a region defined by its recreational and natural resources, featuring Hartwick Pines State Park and a dense constellation of glacial lakes like Otsego Lake and the Spectacle Lakes.

Social centers and rural infrastructure are mapped in detail, from the village of Grayling to smaller settlements like Luzerne, Mio, and Alba. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Vienna Cem, St Marys Ch, and Alba Sch, while the presence of an Old Railroad Grade and several fire towers, such as the Elk Hill Lookout, reveal the area's history of timber management and early transportation.
