About this map

The Escanaba River serves as the central artery through this Upper Peninsula landscape, winding southward toward the settlement of Cornell. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Hunters Brook, Indian Cr, and Mosquito Cr, which flow through the forested blocks of Delta County. To the north, the small community of Saint Nicholas is situated near the Saint Nicholas Cem, while the southern reaches of the map include the locality of Salva.

A notable landmark along the river's path is Rose Falls (East), located near the border of Marquette and Delta Counties. The map reveals a structured grid of rural roads and logging tracks, such as Boom Town Rd and Boney Falls H Rd, which highlight the region's historic ties to the timber industry and river-based transport. This detailed survey documents the late 20th-century development of these riverfront communities and the enduring importance of the Escanaba drainage system.
