About this map

The Munuscong State Forest dominates this section of the Upper Peninsula, where the landscape is defined by the transition from wooded lowlands to industrial activity in the mid-1960s. Near the settlement of Cedarville, the land shows significant development with a large Quarry connected to the Industrial Railroad. This rail line and a network of local roads like Winberg Road and Swede Road suggest an era when timber and stone extraction were primary drivers of the local economy.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Hannah Cem near Hannah Creek, along with the Bethel Ch further south. The map documents several important water features including the East Branch Munuscong River and Rapson Creek, as well as specialized sites like the Fish Hatchery and Northwoods Camp. These details provide a clear view of the social and industrial infrastructure at the border of Clark township.
