1953 Map of Munuscong

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Munuscong Lake and the intricate shoreline of the St. Marys River system dominate this 1950s survey of the Upper Peninsula’s eastern edge. The small settlement of Munuscong sits at the northern end of the lake, adjacent to the vital navigation route of the West Neebish Channel. This waterway separates the mainland from the western shores of Neebish Island, marked by several navigational aids including the Pilot Island Light. The southern half of the map transition into the expansive Munuscong State Forest, where the Gogomain River and its West Branch snake through the GOGOMAIN SWAMP before emptying into the bay. Significant topographical detail is captured along the shoreline points, such as Winter Point, Roach Point, and Sawmill Point, illustrating a landscape shaped by water and timber resources during the mid-century era.
