1951 Map of Piatt Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Marquette National Forest and Whitefish Bay State Forest dominate this Upper Peninsula landscape in the early 1950s. Situated along the shoreline of Tahquamenon Bay, the terrain is defined by a dense network of inland waters and marshy lowlands. The prominent Eckerman Lookout Tower stands as a sentinel over the vast timberlands, connected by the straight transit of the East and West Road. Smaller water bodies like Piatt Lake, Johnson Lake, and Duck Lake are interspersed throughout the forest, while Lake Shore Drive skirts the northern coast. The map illustrates a region dedicated to conservation and forestry, where early infrastructure like the State Forest Boundary lines intersect with natural drainages such as Roxbury Creek and Fourteen Number Creek.
