1971 Map of Presque Isle

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Presque Isle and its surrounding peninsula define this coastal landscape on Lake Huron during the early 1970s. The map highlights a diverse geography of inland lakes, including Lake Esau, Lotus Lake, and the eastern shoreline of Grand Lake. Navigational history is anchored by the Old Lighthouse and a nearby Old Lighthouse Grave, while the local economy is evidenced by a massive Quarry and the industrial facility at Stoneport. The layout of the land is shaped by recreational and natural preserves, such as the Besser Natural Area and Camp Chickagami Road. Numerous islands like Crescent Island and Grand Island dot the waters of North Bay and the larger lake system, while False Presque Isle creates a sheltered False Presque Isle Harbor to the south. This survey provides a clear view of the transition between developed industrial sites and preserved coastal wetlands.
