1964 Map of Ozark SE

About this map

The Carp River winds through the heart of the Hiawatha National Forest in this mid-1960s topographic study of the Upper Peninsula. This landscape is defined by its drainage patterns and timberland, where the Soo Line railroad cuts across the southwest corner near Worth Rd. To the north, East Lake dominates the horizon, feeding into a network of tributaries such as North Branch and Taylor Creek. The presence of several Gravel Pits along East Lake Road and Charles Road suggests the era's local industry and infrastructure needs. Landforms like Farm Hill rise above the wetlands, while small interior waters like Spring Lake and its outlet, Upper Spring Lake Creek, provide a detailed look at the hydrology of the St Ignace township and surrounding wilderness areas.
