1945 Map of Gibbs City

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Gibbs City sits at the confluence of the North Branch Paint River and the South Branch Paint River, serving as a focal point for the lumbering and railway activity in the Upper Peninsula. This 1945 landscape is dominated by the Ottawa National Forest, where the Chicago and Northwestern railroad lines follow the watercourses, facilitating the movement of timber and ore. Cultural markers of the local community are evident at the Finnish Lutheran Ch and Camp Gibbs, while the Old Atkinson Dam Site on the Paint River indicates former industrial use of the river's flow.
