1953 Map of Pickford NW

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Kincheloe Air Force Base dominates the northern landscape of this region, reflecting the Cold War-era expansion of military infrastructure across the Upper Peninsula. To the south, the terrain transitions into the dense, managed woodlands of the Munuscong State Forest and the Hiawatha National Forest. This 1953 survey, which includes updates from 1975, tracks the intricate hydrology of the Munuscong River and its tributaries, including Parker Creek and Fletcher Creek. The presence of the Cottle Cem near the boundary of Chippewa Co and Mackinac Co provides a tangible point of reference for genealogists researching family ties in this corner of Marquette and Pickford. The map also documents local industry through several Gravel Pits scattered near the river valley, marking the modest extraction activities that supported the area's development.
