1951 Map of Otsego Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Otsego Lake and its surrounding glacial terrain define this portion of the northern Lower Peninsula as it appeared in the mid-20th century. The landscape is a dense concentration of mid-century recreation, with the shoreline of the massive lake heavily developed with seasonal destinations like Arbutus Beach, Eyedylwild Beach, and Point Comfort. Dozens of named cottage colonies and resorts, such as Pearlls Resort and the Simmons Lakeside Resort, highlight the area's importance as a vacation destination for travelers arriving via the New York Central railroad or the regional road network.
