1956 Map of Foster City

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Foster City and Hardwood stand as the primary hubs in this mid-century portrait of the Upper Peninsula, situated along the Chicago and North Western rail line. The landscape is defined by the dense hydrological network of the Sturgeon River State Forest and Menominee State Forest, where the Sturgeon River and Cedar River drain a complex terrain of wetlands and small lakes. Settlement patterns follow the rail corridor through Breen and Spalding townships, connecting smaller stops like Hylas and Helps. Genealogists will find the Township Cem near the northern border, while industrial historians can trace the timber-supporting infrastructure of Siding No 4 and various creek branches that once drove the regional economy. The map illustrates a rural Michigan interior still heavily reliant on its forest resources and rail connectivity.
