1932 Map of Helena NE

USGS Topo · Published 1932

About this map

Logging and railway activity define this corner of Marquette County during the early 1930s. The Chicago and Northwestern rail line and State and Northwestern Highway No 35 serve as the primary north-south corridors, anchoring the settlement of Helena and the nearby Parker Spur. The landscape is dominated by an extensive swamp system, drained by waterways such as Sawmill Creek, Werners Creek, and Mud Creek. Numerous named camps, including Rochenon Camp, Quales Camp, and Swamp Buck Camp, are scattered throughout the forested interior, indicating a transient but active workforce focused on the region's natural resources. A prominent Stack near the northern rail line suggests industrial operations in an otherwise remote wilderness of Forsyth township, where the 1932 field examination captured a precise moment in the Upper Peninsula's developmental history.
