About this map

Lake Huron shoreline development and the extensive reaches of the Huron National Forest define the geography of this Iosco County region. The settlements of Oscoda and Au Sable sit at the mouth of the Au Sable River, a historic waterway that winds past Loud Island before reaching the lake. To the north, Lincoln Junction serves as a residential hub near the shores of Cedar Lake and Van Etten Lake, showing a landscape characterized by modern street grids and recreational access points.

Genealogists can find significant local history in the three primary burial grounds: Sacred Heart Cem, Pinecrest Cem, and the Au Sable Township Cem. The presence of the Oscoda-Wurtsmith Airport highlights the area's mid-century aviation heritage, while various trails like the Gagnon Trl and Eagle Trail underscore the region's focus on forest management and outdoor recreation. The drainage network, including the State Ditch and Phelan Cr, illustrates the long-term management of the coastal wetlands.
