About this map

The Au Sable River meanders through the heart of this Crawford County landscape, a central artery for the region's recreational and military history. In the early 1950s, this area was defined by a network of logging-era truck trails and seasonal camps, reflecting a shift from heavy timber harvesting to conservation and tactical training. The Camp Grayling Military Reservation dominates the northern half of the sheet, while the southern portion is preserved within the Huron National Forest. Local infrastructure of the era is preserved through markers such as the Feldhauser School and the Down River Fire Tower. Notable river crossings like Stephans Bridge and named outposts like Wildwood and Camp Wa-Wa-Sum show the settlement patterns along the riverbanks, where early 20th-century sporting culture met the expanding footprint of the Michigan National Guard.
