1964 Map of Cedarville

About this map

Cedarville serves as the gateway to the intricate maritime landscape of the Les Cheneaux Islands in the mid-1960s. This survey details a complex network of channels and bays, including Les Cheneaux Channel and Muscallonge Bay, which define the passage between the mainland and large landmasses like La Salle Island and Marquette Island. To the east, the industrial character of the Upper Peninsula is evident at Port Dolomite, where an Industrial Railroad terminates near several gravel pits and a gaging station. Much of the northern terrain is managed under the Munuscong State Forest, while southern islands such as Government Island fall within the Hiawatha National Forest. The map documents numerous family-named points and landings, such as Patrick Landing, Melchers Point, and Arnold Point, which suggest the area's long-standing history as a coastal retreat and timber hub.
