1956 Map of Carp River

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Porcupine Mountains rise sharply from the shoreline of Lake Superior in this mid-century survey of Michigan's western Upper Peninsula. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling Porcupine Mountains State Park, where elevation changes create dramatic interior features like Lake of the Clouds and Mirror Lake. The map details a wilderness area defined by its difficult terrain and water-driven geography, including the descent of the Carp River toward the lake and the presence of numerous falls such as Shining Cloud Falls and Traders Falls.
