1986 Map of Chabeneau Lake

About this map

The Escanaba River winds through the heart of this Marquette County landscape, bisecting a region defined by its timber and mineral potential within the Escumbo State Forest. This 1980s-era documentation highlights the industrial and communication infrastructure that supported the Upper Peninsula, featuring several communication points like Radio Tower WNMU and Radio Tower WLUC. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade and a Rock Quarry speaks to the historical extraction and transportation networks that once moved resources through the forest. Numerous small bodies of water, including Chabeneau Lake, Lake Francoeur, and the uniquely named Tanglefoot Lake, are scattered across the terrain, connected by a network of drainage ways like Whiskey Creek and Sagola Creek. A remote Landing Field further illustrates the specialized land use in this sparsely populated section of Michigan.
