About this map

Mid-century recreation and state forestry define the landscape around Otsego Lake during this post-war era. The shoreline is densely populated with seasonal cabins and commercial resorts such as Simpsons Resort, Del Ruth Resort, and Hamlin Otsego Sands Resort, illustrating the area's development as a northern Michigan vacation destination. The presence of the New York Central railroad and Old State Road 618 suggests a well-established transportation corridor serving the small communities of Pearl City and Oak Grove.
