About this map

Ford River snakes through the dense woodland and wetlands of the Escanaba River State Forest, defining the rural character of Delta County during the early 1930s. The settlement pattern here is anchored by small community nodes such as Flatrock, where Holy Family Ch stands, and several rural schoolhouses like Sovey Sch, Howard Sch, and Nadon Sch that served the outlying families. Transportation is dominated by two major rail lines, the Chicago and Northwestern and the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie, which intersect at Portage. These tracks provided the primary industrial link for local timber and agricultural goods. To the west, the tiny stop of Newhall sits along the riverbank, reflecting the era's reliance on rail and water for local commerce and connectivity across the Upper Peninsula.
