About this map

Ossineke serves as the focal point of this coastal survey, situated where the Devils River meets the expansive waters of Lake Huron. The landscape is defined by its intricate drainage systems, including the S Br Devils River and North Branch Devils River, which carve through the terrain south of Thunder Bay. To the east, Sulphur Island sits just offshore, while Hardwood Point marks a prominent bend in the coastline.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of several rural burial grounds, such as the Sanborn Township Cem, Saint Catherine's Cem, and German Cem. The map provides a clear view of the transition from the marshy edges of Devils Lake and Cranberry Cr to the more structured roads of Sanborn Township, documenting the modern infrastructure and natural hydrology of this Alpena County shoreline.
