About this map

The Soo Line RR cuts a straight path through the Mackinac County interior, serving the small settlement of Kenneth. This landscape is defined by the intersection of the Hiawatha National Forest and Mackinac State Forest, where the drainage of the South Branch Carp River and Bissel Creek feeds into a complex network of wetlands and wooded terrain. Near the southern edge of the survey, the shoreline of Brevoort Lake provides a distinct geographical anchor, featuring Boedne Bay, Black Point, and Schaeffer Point.

Transport and access are limited to a handful of thoroughfares such as Worth Road and the Goudreau Trail, highlighting the area's isolation during the mid-1960s. The presence of several Gravel Pits along the rail line suggests local industrial activity, while the Campground on the lake's northern shore indicates the region's recreational value within the protected forest boundaries. Small watercourses like the Little Brevoort River and Little Cut River further illustrate the hydrology of the eastern Upper Peninsula.
