1955 Map of Boulder Junction
USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
Glacial lakes and thick timber dominate this mid-century survey of the Wisconsin-Michigan borderlands. The settlement of Boulder Junction serves as a central hub, flanked by the Northern Highland State Forest and the Ottawa National Forest. Further north, Winegar marks a key outpost near the state line, supported by local landmarks like the Presque Isle Ch and Notre Dame Ch. The landscape is a complex network of waterways, ranging from the large Big Lake and North Crab Lake to smaller reaches like Sparkling Lake and Lower Gresham Lake. This era shows the region established as a seasonal destination, indicated by the Boy Scout Camp and the Airport, while more utilitarian features like the Lookout Tower and Gravel Pit highlight the active management of the surrounding forest and local infrastructure.
