Shorelines along Lake Huron and the eastern reaches of Long Lake define this 1971 study of the boundary between Presque Isle and Alpena counties. The landscape is a mix of protected timberland and industrial extraction, featuring the Black Lake State Forest and the Thunder Bay River State Forest alongside numerous Gravel Pits and the extensive Quarry works at Rockport. Small lakeside communities like Ashland and Lakewood dot the coast, while the interior shows signs of mid-century development including a Drive-in Theater and the Hinks Sch. Hydrological features include the McConnell Dam on Devils Lake and the Besser Natural Area near Bolton Point, preserving a stretch of the northern Michigan coast as it appeared before further modern expansion.
