1963 Map of Eldorado

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Huron National Forest and Houghton Lake State Forest dominate this early 1960s landscape, where public lands meet the rural northern Michigan frontier. The winding course of the South Branch Au Sable River cuts through the northwest, a focal point for local geography featuring the South Branch Campground and the Mason Chapel. In this era, the settlement of Eldorado sits along the eastern boundary, while the interior is defined by a network of unimproved roads like Brush Road and Fletcher Road that connect isolated landmarks. Evidence of local administration and community life is visible through the presence of a Townhall, the Roscommon Lookout Tower, and small burial grounds including Rock Cem and Richfield Cem. The southern half is dotted with small bodies of water such as Kellogg Lake and West Lake, illustrating the post-glacial terrain of the Crawford and Roscommon county line.
