1973 Map of Point Patterson

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Mackinac State Forest dominates this coastal landscape along the northern shores of Lake Michigan, where low-lying wetlands and scattered timber define the terrain. The shoreline is punctuated by several prominent landmarks, including Birch Point, Scott Point, and Cozy Point, which shield small inlets from the open lake. This 1970s survey captures a transition in the local economy, as evidenced by the Old Railroad Grade and Old RR Grade cutting through the forest, remnants of a logging era that once relied on these tracks to move timber to the docks. Small clusters of human activity are centered near the Township Cem and Gould City Township Park, while the interior remains largely undeveloped, characterized by a series of small water bodies like Bruders Lake, Island Lake, and the uniquely named Batty Doe Lake.
