About this map

Long Lake dominates this coastal landscape along the Lake Huron shoreline, where the boundary of Presque Isle and Alpena Counties divides the terrain. The map documents a corridor of lakeside residential and recreational development, anchored by small settlements such as Lakewood, Ashland, and Breezy Point. This era is defined by a dense network of local access roads like Maple Grove Rd and Long Lake Park Rd, reflecting the area's transition into a seasonal and residential retreat near the water.

Industrial and aviation history is represented by the coastal site at Rockport and the inland Silver City Airpark. The transition from the massive Lake Huron expanse to smaller inland bodies like Middle Lake creates a complex system of drainage, including Fitzgerald Creek and Long Lake Creek. To the north, more isolated points like Bolton Point and the settlement of Bell indicate a sparser settlement pattern compared to the developed southern shores of the main lake.
