1964 Map of De Tour Village

About this map

De Tour Village serves as the gateway to the De Tour Passage and the shipping lanes of the Saint Marys River in this mid-1960s survey. Located at the southeastern tip of the Upper Peninsula, the village is defined by its maritime infrastructure, including the offshore De Tour Lighthouse and various navigation aids like Frying Pan Island. The surrounding landscape is largely protected by the Munuscong State Forest and De Tour State Park, reflecting the region's transition into a center for recreation and conservation. Genealogists can identify localized landmarks such as Maple Grove Cem and Bob Hill Cem, while the shoreline is dotted with family-named features like Olmstad Bay and Peters Island. The map also details several Gravel Pits and a Quarry, pointing to the local extraction industries that operated alongside the timber and maritime economy of the eastern UP.
