1940 Map of Fort Wilkins

USGS Topo · Published 1940

About this map

Fort Wilkins State Park sits at the northern tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula, anchoring this 1940 survey of Michigan's rugged shoreline. Compiled from 1938 aerial photography, the landscape shows a transition from the historic military post and Copper Harbor L H to the dense interior drainage of the Montreal River. The geography is defined by narrow lakes that run parallel to the Lake Superior coast, such as Lake Fanny Hooe and Lake Lily, which reflect the underlying geological ridges. Further south, the map reveals isolated water bodies like Hoar Lake and the winding course of Copper Creek, illustrating the wilderness character of the region before modern development. Notable coastal features like Keystone Pt and Horseshoe Harbor highlight the peninsula's jagged interface with the lake.
