1950 Map of Lewiston

About this map

Lewiston serves as the primary hub for this portion of the northern Lower Peninsula, situated between East Twin Lake and West Twin Lake. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by timber and early 20th-century settlement, where the Michigan Principal Meridian forms a clear dividing line between Otsego and Montmorency counties. To the north, the Presque Isle State Forest dominates the terrain, dotted with numerous glacial features like Spectacle Lakes and Gaylanta Lake. Local civic life is recorded through features like the Vienna Township Hall at Vienna Corners and the Albert Township School. Aviation landmarks such as Briley Airfield and the Lewiston Airport indicate the area's mid-century accessibility for residents and visitors to the surrounding camps and lodges.
