About this map

The western shoreline of Black Lake and the winding course of the Upper Black River dominate this Cheboygan County landscape. This mid-1980s provisional study details the developed waterfronts of Pine Grove Beach and Hangore Heights, where the lake meets the extensive woods of the Mackinaw State Forest. To the south, the village of Milligan sits near the confluence of Milligan Creek and the river, while the Michigan Grade provides a clear transport corridor through the timberland.

Interpreting the map reveals a focused utility and recreational infrastructure, including a Power Plant and Gaging Sta near the river's bend, and a small Cem tucked away near the mouth of Stony Creek. The transition from the rural settlements of Waveland and Fisher into the protected state forest boundary highlights the balance between Northern Michigan lakeside living and industrial resource management during this era.
