About this map

Munuscong State Forest and the Munuscong River dominate the landscape of eastern Chippewa County, Michigan, in this mid-century survey. The village of Pickford serves as the primary hub, situated near the intersection of several regional drainages including Fletcher Creek and the East Branch Munuscong River. The map captures a transition period for the region, where 1950s infrastructure was later updated with 1970s revisions, showing the persistence of local landmarks like the Pickford High School.

Smaller hamlets such as Kelden and Stirlingville are documented along with essential community sites like St Mathias Ch and Fairview Cem. Cultural features like the Golf Course and Campgrounds near Munuscong Lake reflect the area's dual character as both a working forest and a recreational destination. The border between Mackinac Co and Chippewa Co is clearly delineated along the southern edge of the survey area.
