1931 Map of Blaney SE

About this map

Milakokia Lake dominates this Upper Peninsula landscape in the early 1930s, surrounded by a complex network of wetlands and small water bodies including Long Lake, Browns Lake, and Mitten Lake. The settlement at Huntspur serves as a primary rail and road node, situated where the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Sainte Marie railroad tracks intersect with local transit routes. The presence of Stonequarry near the lake suggests the area's early industrial utility, while multiple transmission lines cutting across the townships of Portge and Newton indicate the infrastructure expansion of the era. The mapping, which was compiled in part from aerial photography, captures the transition of the remote terrain between Schoolcraft and Mackinac counties, highlighting the importance of the U S Highway No 2 corridor for regional connectivity.
