1958 Map of Corner Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Hiawatha National Forest dominates this mid-century landscape across the intersection of Alger, Delta, and Schoolcraft Counties. A dense network of glacial lakes defines the northern terrain, including Turtle Lake, Cucumber Lake, and Big Island Lake, while an Old Railroad Grade suggests the legacy of logging operations that once moved through these woods. Small pockets of human activity appear in the remote forest, such as Steuben and the Petoskey Hunting Club, providing a glimpse into the seasonal and permanent settlements of the Michigan Upper Peninsula before modern infrastructure expanded. The presence of the Waco Lookout Tower and another Lookout Tower near Ganamush Lake highlights the era's reliance on manned fire observation in these heavily timbered lands. From the Landing Field at Steuben to the isolated Gravel Pits, the map records a wilderness being utilized for timber, recreation, and natural resource management.
