1948 Map of Bruneau Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

Mt Horace Greeley stands as the dominant topographical feature in this northern reach of the Keweenaw Peninsula, rising above a landscape defined by its intricate drainage systems. The survey area, mapped just after the war in 1946, captures the transition from the high ridges down to the rocky shoreline of Lake Superior in the northeast. The interior is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including the westward-flowing Tobacco River and the winding path of Bruneau Creek. These waterways, along with the Traverse River to the south, were historically central to the timber and mining logistics of the Upper Peninsula. The boundary between Houghton and Sherman townships bisects the map, illustrating the early administrative divisions of this remote timberland before modern development significantly altered the forest cover.
