1951 Map of Raco

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Duluth South Shore and Atlantic railroad cuts across the northern reaches of this landscape, anchoring the settlement of Raco. Situated within the dense timberlands of the Hiawatha National Forest and the Munuscong State Forest, the area is defined by an intricate network of drainage, including the West Branch Waiska River and the North Pine River. Local activity is centered around specific landmarks such as the Raco Ranger Sta and the curious presence of the Squirrel Tail Inn, while Camp Dearborn sits near the headwaters of Pray Creek. The map reflects a mid-century era of managed wilderness, where established forest boundaries and numerous creeks like McMahen Creek and Bons Creek illustrate the water-dependent topography of the Eastern Upper Peninsula.
