1956 Map of Foster City

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Chicago and North Western rail corridor anchors this mid-century survey of the rugged timberlands where Dickinson and Menominee Counties meet. Early logging settlements and railroad sidings like Foster City, Hardwood, and Helps dot the landscape, connected by a network of spurs including the Kimberley Branch. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Sturgeon River and its numerous tributaries such as Hancock Creek and Pocans Creek, which flow through several dedicated tracts of state forest land. Near the southern edge, the settlement of Waucedah and the Waucedah Township Cem provide evidence of early township organization. The map captures the transition of the Upper Peninsula from a primary logging frontier toward a landscape managed by agencies like the Sturgeon River State Forest and Menominee State Forest.
