1954 Map of Oskar

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Lake Superior dominates the northern horizon of this mid-century survey, where the rugged Keweenaw Peninsula meets the vital waters of the Portage Lake Ship Canal. This landscape is defined by the transition from coastal highlands down to the shorelines of Portage Lake, featuring prominent elevations like High Point and Mill Point. Small rural clusters such as Liminga, Oskar, and Schmidt Corner are connected by a network of local roads that trace the contours of Stanton and Adams townships. This map offers a clear view of the social infrastructure of the era, from the Onnela Sch and Redridge Cem to the County Hospital located near the southern map boundary. The presence of numerous Gravel Pits reflects the local extractive economy, while Harrington Island sits as a notable landmark within the canal's passage.
