About this map

Manning stands at a rural crossroads along the Black River in this early 1980s look at northern Michigan. This landscape is defined by its transition from the dense wetlands of the Alverno Swamp and Linsey Marsh to the elevated terrain of Black Mountain in the southeast. Local life is anchored by the Black River Ch and a nearby Townhall, while the river itself serves as a major geographical artery flowing toward Black Lake.

Evidence of historical transport and logging is visible through the remnant Railroad Grade cutting across the northern portion of the Mackinaw State Forest. The map details numerous water bodies such as Lake Sixteen, Duck Lake, and the Quilet Lakes, alongside the lakeshore community of Doriva Beach. The dense network of forest and county roads, including the Alpena State Road, suggests a region defined by recreational access and timber management within the state forest boundaries.
