About this map

Millecoquins Lake anchors this 1931 survey of the Upper Peninsula, revealing a landscape defined by timber-era drainage patterns and early lakeside recreation. Located in Garfield township near the border of Luce and Mackinac Counties, the area shows a distinct transition from wetland marshes to established rural school districts. The placement of Elsner Sch, Dansmore Sch, Anderson Sch, and Russell Sch indicates a distributed population of homesteaders and workers prior to the consolidation of rural education.

Transport is represented by the M S C railroad line and the Greylock Spur, which provided essential access to the southern shore near the Millecoquins Lake Resort. Numerous watercourses, including Maloney Creek, Doe Creek, and Furlong Creek, feed the lake, illustrating the natural watershed that supported the local environment before more modern development reached this part of the Lakefield region.
