1968 Map of South Branch

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

The Huron National Forest and Ogemaw State Forest dominate this late-1960s landscape, where glacial geology is expressed through the Maltby Hills and an intricate network of kettle lakes. The settlement of South Branch serves as a small hub near the Ogemaw and Iosco county line, featuring the Timbers Sky Ranch Airfield and the Oak Grove Cem. Water defines the region, from the sprawling Maltby Swamp to the recreational clusters at Shady Shores on the banks of George Lake. A complex system of streams, including Au Sable Creek and Augustina Creek, connects numerous water bodies like North Dease Lake and Au Sable Lake. This survey illustrates a period when the area was maturing as a destination for outdoor recreation and seasonal residences, with local infrastructure supported by roads such as Mack Road and Rose City Road.
