1932 Map of Burnt Bluff NE

USGS Topo · Published 1932

About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the eastern expanse of this 1932 survey, which covers a portion of the Stonington Peninsula between the townships of Garden and Fairbanks. This advance sheet represents an early application of aerial photography by the U.S. Army Air Corps to refine coastal topography, resulting in a detailed record of the wetlands and jagged shoreline before mid-century development. The lone named settlement, Devils Corner, serves as a land-based waypoint in a landscape otherwise defined by water. Coastal surveyors and maritime historians will find value in the specific lake-survey markers, including Usls Amvi and Usls MV, which anchored the navigation charts of the era. The mapping also tracks the sheltered waters of Portage Bay and the isolated Sucker Lake, providing a clear look at the region's hydraulic character during the early 1930s.
