1954 Map of Marquette

About this map

Marquette sits prominently on the shores of Lake Superior, serving as a critical harbor for the Upper Peninsula. The landscape is defined by the industrial and academic growth of the mid-1950s, featuring the campus of Northern Michigan College and the essential corridors of the Duluth South Shore and Atlantic railroad. To the north, Presque Isle and Presque Isle Harbor illustrate the area's maritime reliance, while the city's residential and civic infrastructure includes St Michael Sch, Graveraet High Sch, and Park Cemetery.
