1932 Map of Gladstone NE

About this map

The Chicago and Northwestern railroad forms the spine of this industrial and agricultural landscape within the township of Brampton. Surveyed in the early 1930s, the map reveals a network of small settlements and rural education hubs like Youngs Sch and Days River Sch that once served the families of Delta County. The terrain is defined by the high ground of Maple Ridge and a complex hydrological system where the Tacoosh River and Days River flow toward Little Bay de Noc. Cultural markers, including St Josephs Cem and the St Josephs church, anchor the community of Perkins. This era shows the transition of the Upper Peninsula interior as early logging sites like Johnson Camp and rail sidings at Winde integrated with established rural life along State Highway No 35.
