1938 Map of Bruneau Creek

About this map

Preasville stands as a primary point of settlement on the Keweenaw Peninsula during the late 1930s, situated amidst a landscape defined by its complex drainage systems and the prominent height of Mt Horace Greeley. The area's hydrology is dominated by the Bruneau River and Tobacco River, which weave through the townships of Sherman, Houghton, and Eagle Harbor. This survey, compiled from aerial photography by Glenn S. Smith and field-examined in 1938, captures the wilderness character of the region before significant modern development. The northeastern corner is anchored by the waters of Gratiot Lake and several smaller tributaries such as Nine Thirty-two Creek and Eister Creek, reflecting the rugged, water-bound geography of Michigan’s copper country during this era.
