1964 Map of McRae Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Bois Blanc Island is revealed in detail during the mid-1960s, showing a landscape defined by its position in Lake Huron and the extensive coverage of the Black Lake State Forest. The interior of the island is dotted with numerous small bodies of water, including Lake Mary, Evans Lake, and Lost Lake, suggesting a low-lying and moisture-rich environment. Human presence is clustered near the shorelines and specific clearings, with the Bois Blanc Landing Field and a series of unimproved roads providing the primary access to the island's timber and natural resources. Notable landmarks like Lighthouse Point and the McRae Cem offer specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking early maritime and settlement history. The presence of a Gravel Pit and the designated state forest lands reflect the island's reliance on natural resource management and local infrastructure maintenance during this era.
