About this map

Hiawatha National Forest dominates this mid-1960s landscape, where the Chippewa and Mackinac County line divides a region of dense swamp, water, and timber. The industrial character of the Upper Peninsula is evident in the rail corridor of the Soo Line, which connects the small settlements of Cordell and Dick (Spur 459). These remote outposts serve as markers of the area's logistical history, linked by corridors like Hayward School Road and the Spur Road.

Water defines much of the terrain, from the large expanse of Brevort Lake and East Lake in the south to the winding paths of the Pine River and Blind River to the north. Geologic features such as The Big Spring and Maple Hill, which hosts both a lookout and radio tower, rise above the surrounding wetlands. Resource extraction is noted at Scott Quarry and several gravel pits, underscoring the local economy's reliance on the land during this period.
