1973 Map of Gilchrist

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Gilchrist serves as a small rail-oriented anchor in this 1973 landscape, situated where the Soo Line traverses the southern reaches of the Mackinac State Forest. The map captures a transition from managed timberlands and peatlands to recreational utility, evidenced by the Hiawatha Club Landing Strip and a dense network of forest tracks like Pullup Lake Road and Mc Leod Truck Road. In the northeast, the Tahquamenon River flows through the Tahquamenon River State Forest, while the distinctive Cranberry Lake Bog illustrates the region's complex wetlands. Multiple former transportation routes are visible through an Old Railroad Grade and Old RR Grade, tracing the history of logging logistics that once dominated these northern woods. The terrain is marked by numerous small water bodies such as Jacko Pond, Lucky Lake, and Lake Louise, all interconnected by various branches of Peters Creek and the Lower Millecoquins River.
