1951 Map of Emerson

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Whitefish Bay meets the mouth of the Tahquamenon River on this Upper Peninsula coastline, where the settlement of Emerson and the nearby village of Paradise define the local landscape. The map illustrates a mid-century community tied to the land and water, featuring the Whitefish Sch, Baptist Ch, and Our Lady of Victory Ch. Inland, the terrain is dominated by the Tahquamenon Falls State Park and the Lake Superior State Forest, where numerous recreational and hunting outposts like the Hiawatha Hunt Club and Soo Machine Club are scattered among wetlands and small lakes like Preacher Lake. The river's winding path toward Tahquamenon Bay includes Snug Harbor and is paralleled by Whitefish Road, reflecting the area's transition from a logging and fishing hub into a center for conservation and recreation within the Hiawatha National Forest.
