1954 Map of Huron Mountain

About this map

Lake Superior dominates the northern horizon of this mid-century survey, where the rocky coastline of the Huron Mountains meets the water at points like Huron River Point and Conway Point. The interior is defined by a dense network of high-elevation lakes and peaks, including Mount Ives and Mummy Mountain. The landscape reflects a transition from protected natural areas like the Huron National Wildlife Refuge to the managed timberlands of the Michigan State Forest. This area's isolation is evident in the sparse infrastructure, with only a few significant landmarks such as Gillet Landing on Salmon Trout Bay and the lonely Lighthouse Island offshore. Waterways like the Salmon Trout River and Pine River drain the high country, creating a complex drainage pattern through the Huron Mountains range.
