About this map

St Martin Bay dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, its shoreline meeting a network of inland waters and forested tracts. The settlement of Charles sits near the coast, connected by Charles Road and Gorman Road to the interior. Further north, the small community of Elmhirst is positioned near its namesake Elmhirst Creek, while the Townhall settlement serves as a local landmark.

Logistics and recreation in the mid-1960s are defined by the Mackinac Trail and the Carp River, which flows past the Carp River Campground. The terrain is characterized by low-lying wetlands and drainage systems like McCloud Creek and Flat Creek. Forested lands within the Hiawatha National Forest cover much of the northern and central sections, punctuated by localized operations such as the Gravel Pit near St Ignace Road.
