About this map

The timberlands and wetlands of the Upper Peninsula define this area in the mid-1960s, where the Soo Line railroad cuts a straight path through the Hiawatha National Forest. The settlement of Ozark serves as a focal point for local history, situated near the boundary between Chippewa and Mackinac Counties. The landscape is a complex network of water and forest, featuring numerous named ponds and creeks such as Bobbygay Lake, Boaz Lake, and the winding North Branch Carp River.

Evidence of community life and industry appears in the southern portion of the map, including the Brethren Ch and Brethren Cem. Resource extraction is noted through scattered quarries and gravel pits, while the Trout Lake Lookout Tower stands as a sentinel over the woods. Named landmarks like Schlehubers Marsh and Koski Pond provide specific points of interest for genealogists and researchers tracing family roots in this northern Michigan wilderness.
