2019 Map of Polaski

About this map

The North Branch Thunder Bay River winds through this section of Northeast Michigan, defining a landscape of low-lying wetlands and scattered agricultural settlements. Centered on the boundary of Presque Isle and Alpena Counties, the map documents the rural communities of Polaski, Leer, and Long Rapids. This 2019 survey shows a region deeply rooted in its local heritage, with prominent landmarks such as the Saint Paul's Lutheran Church Cem and Leer Lutheran Church Cem serving as focal points for family history. The transition from rail to recreation is evident in the N Eastern State Trail, which cuts diagonally across the northern townships. Hydrological features like Sunken Lake, Duck Lake, and Erskine Cr dot the terrain, while the Cub Landing Center near the river indicates the area's modern educational and community infrastructure.
