About this map

The Au Sable River winds through this northern Michigan landscape, serving as a primary corridor through the Huron National Forest and Au Sable State Forest. In the early 1960s, this area was defined by its vast conservation lands and active military training grounds, notably the Camp Grayling Military Reservation which occupies the northwest quadrant. The map reveals a network of river access points and crossings vital for local navigation and forestry, including McMasters Bridge and Kelloggs Bridge.

Evidence of recreational development appears near the river with a Ski Lift and the Mason Landing Field located in the southern reaches. The intricate hydrology of the region is well-documented, featuring the junction of the North Branch and several tributaries like Big Creek and Barker Creek. Upland features such as Bald Hill provide contrast to the wetlands of Conners Marsh, illustrating the varied glacial topography characteristic of Crawford County.
