2014 Map of Gladstone

About this map

Escanaba River drainage and the western shores of Lake Michigan define this coastal landscape in Delta County. The urban and industrial corridor between Escanaba and Gladstone is well-established, showing the dense street grids and rail infrastructure of the Soo Line. Educational and transportation hubs are prominent, with the Bay de Noc Community College campus situated near North Escanaba and the West Gladstone Airport serving the northern reaches. The transition from industrial settlements like Wells and Groos to the protected woodlands of the Hiawatha National Forest is clear, while several local burial grounds including Fernwood Cem and Garden of Rest Cem provide essential data for genealogical research in these lakeside communities.
