About this map

The Hulbert settlement and the surrounding Tahquamenon River State Forest define this 1950s landscape in the Upper Peninsula. Situated on the Duluth South Shore and Atlantic railroad, the community serves as a hub for the region's timber and recreational economy. The map illustrates a dense network of watercourses, including the Tahquamenon River and the meandering Hendrie River, which join several branches to drain the low-lying terrain.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Hulbert Cem and The Antlers Cabins specifically marked, providing evidence of early 20th-century habitation and the burgeoning tourist trade. The border between Luce and Chippewa Counties bisects the western half of the sheet, while large water bodies like Hulbert Lake and McMillan Lake suggest the prominence of the area's natural hydrology in shaping local development.
