1985 Map of Bear Town

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Sturgeon River and Otter River wind through the heavily forested interior of the Upper Peninsula, defining a landscape at the intersection of several major land management boundaries. This mid-1980s record documents the sprawling L'Anse Indian Reservation and the Ottawa National Forest, where the terrain is marked by industrial and historical transit corridors. Remnants of the region's logging and transport history are visible in the Old RR Grade and the Trading Strip near Gristmill Creek. The transition from the rural interior toward the Keweenaw Bay is anchored by the settlement of Baraga, positioned near the Baraga State Park. Further inland, the smaller community of Bear Town sits within the reservation boundaries, while the Copper Country State Forest occupies the southeastern corner near Bendry Lake.
