About this map

The Escanaba River State Forest dominates this northern peninsula landscape where the borders of Marquette and Dickinson counties meet. This 1980s provisional survey illustrates a remote timber and recreation area defined by complex water systems, including the West Branch Escanaba River and the Ford River. The map reveals the managed nature of the Upper Peninsula forests during this era, showing how the Copper Country State Forest overlaps these hydraulic networks. Local landmarks like Camp Sanford Campground and various named water bodies such as Kates Lake and the numerically named Lake Thirtysix provide specific points of interest for those studying the region's wilderness usage. The presence of numerous brooks and creeks, including Cady Creek and McGregor Creek, indicates a landscape that remained largely undeveloped and focused on natural resource management and outdoor activity at the time of the photography.
