1955 Map of Herman

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Baraga State Forest dominates this mid-century landscape in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, revealing a region defined by timber, transportation, and isolated settlements. The Duluth South Shore and Atlantic railroad cuts through the southern terrain, serving small outposts like Nestoria and Summit. Near the center of the sheet, the community of Herman stands out with its Herman Cem and the Herman Lookout Tower, providing a focal point for the local highlands. To the west, Alberta appears as a distinct settlement along Plumbago Creek. The drainage of the Sturgeon River and its many tributaries, such as Silver Creek and Tioga River, underscores the area's complex hydrology. Numerous Gravel Pits and the presence of the L'Anse Landing Field near the shores of L'Anse Bay indicate the industrial and aviation infrastructure supporting the northern Baraga County economy during the 1950s.
