1931 Map of Gould City SE

About this map

Engadine serves as the primary hub of activity in this 1931 survey of the Lake Michigan shoreline, situated along the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie railroad line. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of water features and wetlands, including Mill Pond, Miller Lake, and Mud Lake. The coastal interface is particularly detailed, showing the mouth of the Millecoquins River and the sweeping shoreline down to Fox Point. Significant effort by Glenn S. Smith and the Air Corps utilized aerial photography to map this transitional terrain where the Rock River meets the Great Lake. Local geography is marked by landmarks like Cranberry and Almadon Pond, providing a clear view of the Upper Peninsula’s hydrology before mid-century developments altered the region.
