About this map

The northern reaches of Brevoort Lake and the dense interior of the Hiawatha National Forest define this mid-1960s survey of Mackinac County. The settlement of Kenneth sits along the Soo Line railroad, which cuts a straight diagonal through the landscape, linking the upper timberlands to the lakeshore. This corridor provided essential transport for the region's logging and resource extraction, evidenced by the scattered Gravel Pits and logging roads like Nogi Road.

Water dominates the local geography, from the winding path of the Carp River and its Rock Rapids to the secluded Boedne Bay. The presence of the Boedne Bay Campground suggests the area's mid-century role as a destination for outdoor recreation. Smaller waterways such as Silver Creek and Bissel Creek drain into the larger basin, creating a complex network of wetlands and forest typical of the Upper Peninsula's southern coast.
