1956 Map of Beaver Island

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The northern reaches of the Lake Michigan archipelago are defined by the remote settlements and shifting shoreline of the Beaver Island State Forest. This mid-century survey centers on the harbor town of St James, where the Beaver Harbor Lighthouse guards the entrance to Beaver Island Harbor. The interior landscape reveals a community transitioning away from earlier settlement patterns, evidenced by the presence of Sunnyside Sch (Abandoned) and Roseville Sch (Abandoned).
