About this map

Harbor Beach serves as the primary coastal hub on the Lake Huron shoreline of the Michigan Thumb, featuring a distinctive harbor layout protected from the open waters. The landscape is heavily influenced by agricultural drainage patterns, defined by named waterways such as Rock Falls Cr, Winkle Drain, and Morrison Drain that cut through the township sections. Further inland, the small community of Helena marks a traditional rural crossroads.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial grounds, including Our Lady of Lake Huron Roman Catholic Cem, Rock Falls Cem, and Saint Anthony Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the coastal topography at Crane Point and the grid of residential streets near the lake, including S Huron Ave and State St, reflecting the area's enduring connection to the Great Lakes.
