About this map

Tawas City and East Tawas anchor the shoreline where the Tawas River meets the protected waters of Tawas Bay in this coastal Michigan study. The landscape is defined by the transition from the dense timberlands of the Huron National Forest to the developed harbor fronts. Several local burial sites, including Wilber Cem, Laidlaw Cem, and Zion Cem, are situated inland, while the Immaculate Heart of Mary's Catholic Cem and Emmanuel Lutheran Cem are located near the city center.

Hydrological features dominate the northern interior, with Silver Creek and Gray Creek draining toward the Lake Huron coast. The presence of Tawas Lake and Lost Lake indicates the low-lying, water-rich environment characteristic of this part of Iosco County. The road network, including historic routes like Plank Road and Old State Road, reflects the area's development as a regional hub for forestry and maritime activity.
