2014 Map of Harrisville

About this map

Harrisville serves as the focal point of this coastal landscape along the western shore of Lake Huron. The terrain is characterized by the prominent landform of Sturgeon Point and a series of westward-flowing waterways, including the Black River and Mill Cr. This area of Alcona County maintains a quiet, rural character, with the northern portion dominated by the protected acreage of the Huron National Forest. Local history is anchored by several long-standing sites, such as the Saint Annes Cem, Westlawn Cem, and Springport Cem, which mark the small community centers of the region. The map captures the settled interface between the timbered interior and the Great Lakes shoreline, where the small settlement of Springport sits just south of the city. Transportation is defined by the corridor of US Hwy 23 and the Harrisville Airport, providing essential links for this maritime community.
