1971 Map of Spruce

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Lost Lake Woods sits at the edge of the Huron National Forest in this 1971 topographical study of northeastern Alcona County. The landscape is defined by its transition from organized farmland in townships like Caledonia and Sanborn to the dense glacial kettle lakes and wetlands of the south. The settlement of Spruce serves as a local hub, surrounded by a network of family-named roads such as La Bonte Road and Gillard Road. Evidence of the region's timber and transport history remains visible through the Old Railroad Grade winding near the eastern forest boundary. Scattered Gravel Pits suggest local industry, while numerous water bodies including Bear Lake, Deer Lake, and Badger Lake illustrate the varied terrain. Social foundations of the era are marked by the Holcomb School and the Township Cem, providing anchor points for genealogists tracing local families.
