1932 Map of Garden NE

About this map

Big Bay De Noc dominates the southern reaches of this 1932 field study, where the shoreline meets a dense network of marshy river branches and drainage creeks. The landscape is defined by the Fishdam River system, including its northern and southern branches, which weave through the timbered terrain of Delta County. The settlement at Isabella serves as a local hub, supported by the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie railroad line and the critical transit corridor of US Highway No 2. Social and civic life in this era are anchored by landmarks like the Congl Ch, Scandinavian Ch, and the Garden Twp Sch. Further south toward Porcupine Point, the Pine de Noc Sch stands near the bay, illustrating the rural educational footprint during the early 1930s. The map also identifies industrial transit points like Van Winkle Sta and Isabella Sta, reflecting the importance of rail transport for this coastal region.
