About this map

K I Sawyer Air Force Base dominates the northwestern portion of this mid-1980s survey, showing a complex of residential streets and educational facilities like the Leo P Mc Donald Sch. The landscape is defined by the Escanaba River State Forest, where a high density of water bodies including Silver Lake and Sporley Lake dot the glacial terrain. In the southern half, the settlement of Little Lake serves as a local hub, featuring the Little Lake Campground Boat Ramp and remnants of earlier industrial infrastructure indicated by an Old RR Grade. The eastern reaches transition into the lower elevations of the Cyr Swamp and the winding course of the Chocolay River. This map captures a specific moment in the military and recreational history of the Upper Peninsula, balancing the structured layout of the air base against the surrounding wilderness of Forsyth township.
