1931 Map of Ozark SE

About this map

East Lake and its surrounding wetlands dominate this 1931 survey of the Michigan Upper Peninsula. Compiled from aerial photographs by the Air Corps, the map captures the region’s hydraulic complexity, where the North Fork Carp River and East Lake Branch feed into a network of waterways including Taylor Creek and Greene Creek. The landscape is defined by the transition between Chippewa and Mackinac counties, showing a territory largely shaped by its glacial hydrology and early industrial infrastructure.
