1954 Map of Hetherton

About this map

Pigeon River and the Black River carve through a heavily forested landscape defined by state-managed timberlands in northern Michigan. This mid-century survey documents the transition from early logging eras to a landscape managed for conservation and private sport. The Hardwood State Forest, Pigeon River State Forest, and Black Lake State Forest dominate the northern half of the sheet, while the Thunder Bay River State Forest spans the southeast.
