1968 Map of Muskallonge Lake West

About this map

Lake Superior dominates the northern horizon of this coastal survey, where the shoreline of Michigan's Upper Peninsula meets the deep waters of the Great Lakes. The landscape is defined by the Lake Superior State Forest, a densely wooded expanse in McMillan township characterized by a complex network of wetlands and small inland bodies of water. The Blind Sucker River parallels the coast, feeding into the expansive Blind Sucker Flooding. This area serves as a primary recreational corridor, centered around Muskallonge Lake State Park and the large, prominent Muskallonge Lake. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the region, where isolated waters like Rainy Lake, Snowplow Lake, and Holland Lake are connected only by seasonal paths and logging routes such as the Grand Marais Truck Trail.
