About this map

Otsego Lake serves as the central focal point of this mid-century survey, surrounded by a burgeoning landscape of mid-century recreation. The shoreline is densely populated with seasonal retreats and commercial resorts like Pearlls Resort, Simmons Lakeside Resort, and Hamlins Otsego Sands Resort, indicating the area's established role as a vacation destination. The map captures the infrastructure of early northern Michigan tourism, from the Snow Valley Ski Club and its ski lifts to the Waters Seaplane Base on the southern reaches of the water.
