About this map

The coastal settlements of Tawas City and East Tawas dominate the shoreline where the Tawas River flows into Tawas Bay along the edge of Lake Huron. This 2017 study illustrates the dense network of roads and trails that penetrate the Huron National Forest to the north and west, including the Corsair Trails and the Michigan Shore to Shore Tawas route.

Genealogists and local historians will find several well-defined burial grounds across the landscape, ranging from the Poor Farm Cem and Laidlaw Cem in the interior to the Immaculate Heart of Mary's Catholic Cem near the city center. The transition from the developed waterfront at Tawas Lake to the undulating forest terrain is captured in detail, showing how modern infrastructure follows the older section lines of the Public Land Survey System, including t22n r8e and t23n r8e.
