1971 Map of Middle Island

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Middle Island stands as the central landmark of this Lake Huron survey, featuring a prominent Lighthouse that guided maritime traffic along the coastline of Alpena Twp. The shoreline is defined by several distinct landforms, including Monaghan Point and North Point, which frame the sheltered waters of Morris Bay. Further inland, the northern reaches of Long Lake and the smaller Grass Lake dominate the terrestrial landscape, surrounded by the protected grounds of the Thunder Bay River State Forest. Local industry and infrastructure are represented by a Gravel Pit near Bloom Road and the Baarlee Landing Strip near the coast. This map illustrates the transition from the aquatic depths of Lake Huron to the wooded and marshy interior of Michigan's northeast coast, providing a clear record of local geography and navigational markers in the early 1970s.
