1951 Map of Pere Cheney

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Pere Cheney sits along the New York Central railroad, appearing here as a cluster of structures near the Cheney Cemetery. This mid-century survey captures a transition in the landscape of Crawford and Roscommon counties, where the older settlement patterns of northern Michigan meet burgeoning recreational interests. To the west, the Military Reservation and Hanson State Game Refuge dominate the highlands, while the southern edge of the map follows the developed shoreline of Higgins Lake. Family names are preserved across numerous seasonal outposts and permanent landmarks, including Horrigans Siding, Leykaufs Cabins, and Rockefellers Cabins. The presence of the Sewell Fire Tower and the Department of Conservation Training School underscores the region's managed wilderness character, while leisure facilities like the Skyline Ski Slide and various lakeside tennis courts signal the area's mid-century growth as a destination.
