About this map

Logging camps and isolated settlements define this mid-century landscape in the Upper Peninsula, where the Escanaba and Lake Superior railroad cuts diagonally through the marshy terrain of Marquette County. This survey documents a working forest economy, featuring numerous named outposts such as Faucett Camp, Old Camp 20, and John Brace Camp. The small community of Watson serves as a local hub near the Arnold PO and the Watson Fire Tower, which provided a critical vantage point for protecting the surrounding timber. Education for the scattered population was anchored by the Finnish Sch and Mashek Sch. Waterways like the Escanaba River and Ford River drain the low-lying interior, while State Highway No 557 provides one of the few improved routes through the townships of Wells and Ewing.
