1972 Map of Armstrong Creek

About this map

Armstrong Creek and its surrounding woods in the northern reaches of the Nicolet National Forest reflect a landscape defined by timber, water, and the remnants of early twentieth-century logging. The township of Armstrong Creek serves as a small hub, situated near the intersection of the Soo Line and multiple stretches of Old Railroad Grade that once hauled timber through the dense pine and hardwood stands. The terrain is pocketed with numerous glacial basins including Hilbert Lake, Forest Lake, and the remote Mud Lake, while the Popple River and Armstrong Creek drain the watershed through the heart of the forest.
