About this map

Thunder Bay River and the forested expanse of the Huron National Forest define this landscape along the border of Alpena and Alcona counties. The 1972 survey captures the transition from managed state lands to the rural outposts of Comstock and the small-scale aviation at the Hubbard Lake Village Airfield. The map reveals a network of watercourses feeding into the larger lake system, including Wolf Creek, Widner Creek, and Little North Creek.

Cultural and logistical landmarks are scattered throughout the wooded terrain, notably a Covered Bridge on the western edge of the quadrangle. Transport is limited to light-duty routes such as Bartz Road and Scott Road, interspersed with unnamed trails that cut through the low-lying wetlands of Davis Creek. This document provides a record of the region’s topography before significant modern development, focusing on the intersection of public forest land and private rural settlement.
