1954 Map of Kenton

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Kenton serves as the primary hub of activity in this section of the western Upper Peninsula, situated along the line of the Duluth South Shore and Atlantic railroad. The landscape is defined by the heavy timber of the Ottawa National Forest, where a network of lookouts including Trout Creek Lookout Tower, Tepee Lookout Tower, and Mallard Lake Lookout Tower monitor the dense canopy. Water dominates the geography, from the winding Branch Ontonagon River to the many isolated lakes like Beitner Lake and Lake Thirteen. Local history is anchored by the presence of the Kenton Cem and Kitchie Cem, while industrial activity is noted at the local Quarry and various gravel pits. The terrain rises toward distinctive high points like Haystack Mountain and The Bluff, overlooking a remote region of the northern woods managed by the Michigan Department of Conservation.
