About this map

The Au Sable River meanders across this Crawford County landscape, defining a region where conservation lands and military operations meet. Extensive sections of the Au Sable State Forest and Huron National Forest dominate the terrain, which is intersected by the western boundaries of the Camp Grayling Military Reservation. The river itself is the central corridor, supported by several crossings including Kelloggs Bridge, Blonde Dam Bridge, and McMasters Bridge.

Remote infrastructure like the Mason Landing Field and various Gravel Pits illustrate the localized utility of the area during the early 1960s. Hydrography is particularly detailed, showing the convergence of the North Branch, South Branch, and Big Creek. This survey captures the transition from high ground like Bald Hill to the wetland complex of Conners Marsh, preserving a moment when the river system remained the primary organizing feature of the northern Michigan woods.
