1955 Map of Ned Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Crystal Falls State Forest and the Baraga State Forest dominate this Upper Peninsula landscape, where the Fence River and its numerous branches create a complex hydraulic network. The presence of the Triangle Ranch and Premo Dam suggests a mid-century period of managed land use and water control within the dense timberlands. Transportation is defined by the Chicago and North Western Railroad and the Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific Railroad, which historically served the regional logging and mining interests. Aviation footprints are also visible at the Amasa Landing Field near the southern boundary. From the secluded waters of Ned Lake to the various camps and ponds like Forty Nine Pond, the map reveals a wilderness area shaped by both state conservation efforts and the industrial infrastructure of the 1950s.
