1933 Map of Peacock NW

About this map

The Pere Marquette railroad cuts a diagonal line through the sandy northern Michigan landscape, connecting the small settlements of Dublin and Irons. This 1930s-era survey reveals a region defined by its complex hydrology, where numerous small water bodies like Sucker Ponds, Silver Bass Lake, and Elbow Lake dot the terrain north of the winding Little Manistee River. The map highlights the localized infrastructure of the time, including the Fairbanks Sch and the Irons Cem, alongside industrial features like a Gravel Pit near the southern border. The transition between Manistee Co and Lake Co is clearly delineated, showing how section lines and early roads integrated with the natural drainages of Stronech Creek and Pickerel Cr.
