1954 Map of Kenton

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The timber and transit corridor of Michigan's Upper Peninsula is anchored here by Kenton and East Kenton, settlements positioned along the Duluth South Shore and Atlantic railroad. This mid-1950s survey reveals a landscape deeply tied to the industrial and natural resources of the region, featuring infrastructure such as a Lookout Tower, a Quarry, and a Gravel Pit. The complex topography is defined by The Bluff and Haystack Mountain, overlooking a dense network of water bodies including Jumbo River and Walton Lake. Local history is preserved in the locations of the Kenton Cemetery and Trout Creek Cemetery. The convergence of multiple county lines, including Houghton, Ontonagon, and Gogebic, highlights the quadrangle's significance as a geographic crossroads for Northwoods mapping.
