1973 Map of McMillan

About this map

The Soo Line corridor and the Tahquamenon River State Forest define this 1973 landscape in the Upper Peninsula. Centered on the settlement of McMillan, the map captures a transition from the marshy lowlands of Laketon Slough and the winding Tahquamenon River to the open waters of North Manistique Lake. This area reflects a mid-century balance between working timberlands, small-scale farming indicated by the fine fence lines, and the growing recreation industry at Helmer and Laketon.
