1984 Map of Pointe Aux Barques

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Lake Huron dominates this 1980s-era survey, where the northern tip of Michigan's Thumb meets the international boundary with Ontario. The shoreline is defined by the sharp transition from the residential and agricultural lands of Dwight and Port Austin townships to the rocky protrusions of Burnt Cabin Point and Pointe aux Barques. The industrial heritage of the coast is evident at Grind Stone City, where local quarries once fueled a thriving tool industry. Traces of historical transport remain visible through the Old RR grade that terminates near the coast, while the natural geography is marked by small inlets like Alaska Bay and Eagle Bay. This study captures the landscape just as many of these maritime settlements were transitioning from their industrial roots toward their modern character as summer destinations.
