1985 Map of Buckroe

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Lake Superior shoreline north of Marquette is defined by a series of rocky points and river mouths where the Garlic River and Little Garlic River meet the water. This 1985 survey captures a landscape dominated by the Escanaba River State Forest, showing a network of small water bodies like Blemhuber Lake, Echo Lake, and Dollar Lake tucked between the peaks. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade and a Sawmill on Birch Creek points to the area's history of timber extraction, while small settlements like Buckroe, Birch, and Loma Farm suggest the sparse, localized development of the era. Higher elevations such as Garlic Mountain and Saux Head Hill overlook prominent coastal features like Saux Head Point and the small Garlic Island, illustrating the primitive and largely undeveloped nature of the Michigan Upper Peninsula coastline at this time.
