1948 Map of Deer Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Betsy River Sch sits near the rocky shoreline of the Keweenaw Peninsula, reflecting a time when isolated coastal schools served the scattered residents of Grant and Sherman townships. This 1948 field check captures the area just as modern infrastructure began to reach these northern reaches, specifically noted by the roadway marked Under Construction stretching along the coast toward Black Rock Point. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, where the Little Gratiot River connects Lake Gratiot to the smaller Deer Lake, while the Big Betsy River and Little Betsy River carve through the timberlands before emptying into Betsy Bay. The map provides a detailed view of the terrain transitioning from the inland waters of Lac La Belle to the vast expanse of Lake Superior.
