About this map

Huron City sits along the northern edge of the Thumb as documented in this 1970 survey. The landscape is defined by its relationship to Lake Huron, featuring prominent coastal landmarks like Bald Eagle Point and the extensive grounds of Lighthouse County Park. Inland, the terrain is shaped by the drainage patterns of Willow Creek and its South Branch, which cut through a grid of established local thoroughfares including Hunter Rd and Mc Gardle Road.

Genealogists and local researchers will find the location of the New River Cem particularly valuable, situated near the New River just south of the coast. The map illustrates a rural and recreational economy, noted by the presence of a Golf Course and Trailer Park, alongside the agricultural boundaries of Port Austin and Huron townships. The inclusion of a Crib offshore and Public Access points highlights the area's ongoing importance for maritime and community life.
