2023 Map of Oscoda

About this map

Lake Huron defines the eastern boundary of this coastal survey, where the Au Sable River and the Old Au Sable River meet the Great Lake. The twin communities of Oscoda and Au Sable are central to the landscape, showing the dense street grids and shoreline orientation characteristic of these historic Michigan lumber and fishing hubs. To the north, the terrain transitions into a mosaic of water and woods, featuring the large Van Etten Lake with its distinct Loud Island, and the southern tip of Cedar Lake near Lincoln Junction. The western portion of the map is dominated by the Huron National Forest, underscoring the region's balance between residential settlement and protected wilderness. Significant local landmarks such as the Oscoda/Wurtsmith Airport and multiple burial grounds, including Sacred Heart Cem and Au Sable Township Cem, provide essential anchor points for researchers tracking the community's mid-century expansion and civic infrastructure.
