1982 Map of Ewen

About this map

Ewen serves as the central hub of this Upper Peninsula landscape, situated where the South Branch Ontonagon River winds through the southern reaches of the Ottawa National Forest. The map documents a transition from the forested wetlands of the north to the agricultural and residential pockets around the town site. An Old RR Grade cuts across the terrain, tracing the path of the region's earlier timber and mining transport network. Local landmarks such as the Ewen Pines Roadside Park and the Cem northeast of town provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians. To the southeast, the small settlement of Kostlenick sits near the namesake Kostlenick Creek, while the presence of a Gravel Pit and a Gas Pipeline reflect the mid-century industrial utility of the Ontonagon and Gogebic county borderlands.
