1986 Map of Silver Lake

About this map

Mackinaw State Forest dominates this northern Michigan landscape, where the confluence of several counties—Cheboygan, Otsego, and Montmorency—creates a complex network of administrative boundaries amidst a dense hydrology. The area is defined by the winding course of the Black River and its tributaries, including McMasters Creek and Stewart Creek. The central portion of the map is punctuated by glacial water bodies such as Silver Lake and Dollar Lake, while the southern reaches are marked by the significant Foch Lakes Flooding area. Of particular interest to local historians is the Old Railroad Grade cutting through the forest, a clear indicator of the region's logging heritage. Additionally, the presence of an Oil Well and Gas Well suggests the mid-1980s expansion of natural resource extraction within these protected state lands.
