2012 Map of Tawas City

About this map

Tawas Bay and the shoreline of Lake Huron anchor this coastal region of Iosco County, where the Tawas River flows out from the inland waters of Tawas Lake. The landscape is defined by a dense network of creeks, including Cold Cr, Sims Cr, and Dead Cr, which carve through the terrain north of the developed areas. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating several distinct burial sites such as Wilber Cem in the north and the cluster of Memory Gardens Cem, Emmanuel Lutheran Cem, and Immaculate Heart of Mary's Catholic Cemetery further south. The transition from the rural northern sections, marked by landmarks like Trails End Ranch Campgrounds, to the organized street grid near the bay illustrates the concentration of local industry and commerce along the waterfront.
