1954 Map of Hetherton

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Pigeon River State Forest and several neighboring preserves dominate this northern Michigan landscape during the mid-1950s. The region is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and river systems, including the Black River and Cornwall Creek. Human activity is concentrated in forest management and seasonal recreation, evidenced by the State Forest Headquarters and the Pigeon River Lookout Tower. Unique local landmarks like the Paul Bunyan Punch Bowl and the Lansing Club reflect the area's identity as a timber and sporting destination. Small settlements like Hetherton and Johannes anchor the southern portion of the map, while the Gingell Cem provides a point of interest for genealogists. The map also documents river crossings and infrastructure such as the Shingle Mill Bridge and Saunders Dam, which speak to the historic management of these waterways for logging and conservation.
