1968 Map of Betsy Lake SW

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The northern Upper Peninsula's wild timberlands and waterways are meticulously documented in this 1968 field-checked survey of McMillan township. The landscape is defined by the hydrologic network of the East Branch Two Hearted River and Little Two Hearted River, weaving through the Lake Superior State Forest. The map captures a moment when the regional economy transitioned from heavy rail to logging roads, evidenced by the presence of an Old Railroad Grade and the development of the Fossitt Logging Road and West Fossitt Logging Road. Local landmarks like Chesbrough Lake and the Little Two Hearted Lakes provide specific points of interest for those studying the area's geography. To the south, the boundary of the Tahquamenon River State Forest indicates the vast protected timber reserves that characterize this part of Luce County.
