1958 Map of Au Train

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The rugged shoreline of Au Train Bay and the vast timberlands of the Hiawatha National Forest dominate this Upper Peninsula survey. In the late 1950s, the landscape was defined by the intersection of forest industry and rail transportation, with the Duluth South Shore and Atlantic following the Lake Superior coast and the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie cutting through the interior settlements. Small communities like Au Train, Eben Junction, and Chatham served as local hubs, while infrastructure like the Power Plant at Au Train Falls and the Johnson Lake Lookout Tower highlight the management of the region's natural resources. The southern portion of the map shows a transition into the Escanaba River State Forest, where the settlement at Limestone and the Pine Grove Cemetery provide specific points of interest for those tracing family history in Alger County.
