2023 Map of Harrisville

About this map

Harrisville serves as the focal point of this coastal survey, where the Alcona County Courthouse stands as a landmark of civic life along the western shores of Lake Huron. The landscape transitions from the developed grid of the town to the protected woodlands of the Huron National Forest in the north. Notable coastal features include the prominent Sturgeon Point, which reaches into the lake, and several watercourses such as Mill Creek and Black River that drain the interior. Genealogists will find several important sites clustered near the settlement, including Westlawn Cem, Saint Annes Cem, and Springport Cem. The map illustrates a network of rural roads like Poor Farm Rd and Mc Gregor Rd that connect the small-scale agricultural and forested tracts typical of this Michigan lakeshore region.
