About this map

Tawas City and East Tawas sit at the edge of Tawas Bay, where the Tawas River meets the Lake Huron shoreline. This 2019 survey documents the coastal interface between developed settlements and the inland wilderness of the Huron National Forest. The township grid system is punctuated by numerous local burial sites, including the Poor Farm Cem, Wilber Cem, and Laidlaw Cem, which provide significant points of interest for genealogical research.

Infrastructure is defined by a network of specialized routes like the Michigan Shore to Shore-Tawas trail and the Corsair Trails, reflecting the region's recreational and forestry management focus. Notable civic landmarks include the Iosco County Building within the city center. The landscape transitions from the urbanized coast to the rural interior, marked by features such as Tawas Lake and the Bar H Ranch, while numerous creeks including Silver Cr and Dead Cr drain the low-lying northern terrain.
