1955 Map of Atlanta

About this map

Atlanta serves as the focal point of this mid-century landscape, positioned at the junction of the Haymeadow Creek and the Thunder Bay River. The area is defined by its extensive water systems and managed timberlands within the Mackinaw State Forest. To the north, the terrain is densely dotted with glacial lakes such as Shoepac Lake and the Twin Tomahawk Lakes, while the Rainy River Dam regulates the northern flow. Evidence of earlier industrial footprints is visible in the Old Railroad Grade and numerous Gravel Pits scattered across the township lines.
