About this map

Manistique Lake dominates the northern landscape of this Upper Peninsula survey, illustrating a dense network of inland waters and wetlands in eastern Mackinac County. The 1931 survey, compiled in part from early Air Corps aerial photographs, reveals a transition from the larger open waters of the north to the intricate, swampy terrain of the south, including the expansive Cranberry Marsh and its namesake Cranberry Lake. This era shows a sparsely settled wilderness organized by the townships of Portage and Newton, where few roads penetrate the wooded stretches between Whitefish Lake and the smaller, secluded basins like Tee Lake and Moon Lake. The map captures the natural drainage patterns of the region before significant modern development, anchored by the flow of Meade Creek and the presence of several family-named or descriptively titled bodies of water such as Little Mud Lake and Stuart Lake.
