1954 Map of Oskar

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Lake Superior dominates the northern coast of this Keweenaw Peninsula landscape, where the Portage Lake Ship Canal cuts through to connect the open water with Portage Lake. The interior reflects the quiet, rural character of Stanton and Adams townships during the mid-1950s. Small community clusters like Oskar and Schmidt Corner are interconnected by secondary roads, while isolated landmarks such as the Onnela Sch and Redridge Cem offer specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in this part of Houghton County. The topography is defined by significant elevations like High Point and the winding course of Schlot Creek. To the south, the Salmon Trout River flows through a landscape marked by several Gravel Pits, indicating the local extraction industry of the era, while the County Hospital serves as a prominent institutional landmark near the settlement of Cole.
