About this map

Indian Lake and the northern shores of Lake Michigan define the landscape of this Schoolcraft County coastal region. The city of Manistique serves as the primary hub at the mouth of the Manistique River, where the unique Siphon Bridge crosses the water. To the west, the settlement of Thompson is situated near the Thompson State Fish Hatchery and Thompson Cemetery, illustrating the long-standing maritime and natural resources economy of the Upper Peninsula.

Residential growth is evident in several lakeside developments, including Hiawatha Shores, Michiwaukee Shores, and Evergreen Shores, many of which border the expansive Indian Lake State Park. The map documents a transition from these recreational shorelines to the industrial and municipal layout of Manistique, where streets like Mackinac Ave and Chippewa Ave extend toward the harbor, flanked by features like Goulds Slough and the winding Indian River.
