1953 Map of Fibre

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie railroad cuts a straight path through the heart of this Upper Peninsula landscape, connecting the small rail stops of Fibre and Dryburg. This mid-century survey reveals a territory defined by its complex drainage systems and the wooded expanse of the Marquette National Forest. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of waterways including the Pine River, Biscuit Creek, and Bear Creek, which transition into the more southern drainages of Chub Creek and Elmhirst Creek as one crosses the Chippewa Co Mackinac Co line. The distribution of clearings and structures suggests a sparse, resource-based economy where small clusters of settlement cling to the rail corridor and established county roads, surrounded by the dense timber and marshlands characteristic of the eastern Upper Peninsula.
