1968 Map of Muskallonge Lake East

About this map

Deer Park and the rugged northern shoreline of the Upper Peninsula define this late-1960s landscape, where the waters of Lake Superior meet the sand-dune and forest geography of the Lake Superior State Forest. The map captures a transition in land use, showing the remnants of industrial history alongside developing recreational sites. A notable Old Railroad Grade cuts through the timberland, serving as a silent marker of the region's logging era, while the Hearted River winds its way toward the coast through a network of small interior lakes including Connor Lakes and Perch Lake.
