About this map

The Lake Superior shoreline in Marquette County serves as the backdrop for this 1932 field examination, revealing a landscape defined by its rural school districts and early aviation infrastructure. The Duluth South Shore and Atlantic railroad corridors parallel the coast, while U S Highway No 41 cuts through the townships of Chocolay and West Branch.

A notable network of one-room schoolhouses, including the Cherry Sch and Green Garden Hill Crest Sch, highlights the era's decentralized educational system. Aviation history is grounded here at the Marquette Landing Field, located near the winding Big Creek. The map also captures the West Branch Town Hall and several creeks feeding into the Chocolay River, providing a detailed look at the drainage and property access points during the early Depression era.
