1946 Map of Gibbs City

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

Gibbs City serves as a focal point in this portion of the Ottawa National Forest, situated at the confluence where the North Branch and South Branch join to form the main stem of the Paint River. The landscape is defined by its logging and transit history, evidenced by the Chicago and Northwestern railroad line cutting through the southern terrain toward the settlement of Hazel. This postwar survey captures the transition of the Upper Peninsula interior, where former industrial sites like the Old Atkinson Dam Site contrast with community landmarks like the Finnish Lutheran Ch. Further south, the map details the hydrology of the Iron River system, including Iron Lake and numerous feeder streams like Costigan Creek and Sunset Creek. The presence of Camp Gibbs and a prominent Fire Tower highlights the mid-century forest management and recreational character of Iron County.
