The Second Edition for In the Pines-Part IV, An Atlas of Michigan Logging Railroads, is now available to view and download at Internet Archive. This revision includes all the county maps contained in In the Pines, An Atlas of Michigan Logging Railroads and In the Pines-Part II, An Atlas of Michigan Logging Railroads. Over the past year, high-resolution LiDAR imagery has become available for all the counties covered by these two volumes. That tool can be accessed at the USGS website:
https://apps.nationalmap.gov/viewer/ . There, the third item from the left, on the green toolbar, will access a dropdown menu; from that menu, scroll down to and select “3DEP Elevation – Hillshade Stretched” and this will take you to the LiDAR data.
Since I posted the last update of Part IV to Internet Archive (July, 2024), the maps for Alcona, Alpena, Cheboygan, Crawford, Kalkaska, Montmorency, and Otsego Counties have been updated or added. No further updates are currently contemplated.
The complete list of maps included in the Second Edition is: Alcona, Alpena, Antrim, Arenac, Bay, Benzie, Charlevoix, Cheboygan, Clare, Crawford, Emmet, Gladwin, Grand Traverse, Iosco, Isabella, Kalkaska, Lake, Leelanau, Manistee, Mason, Mecosta, Midland, Missaukee, Montcalm, Montmorency, Muskegon, Newaygo, Oceana, Ogemaw, Osceola, Otsego, Presque Isle, Roscommon, and Wexford Counties.
