1955 Map of Ralph NW

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Michigamme State Forest and Sturgeon River State Forest dominate this Upper Peninsula landscape, where the border between Marquette and Dickinson counties meets. This mid-1950s terrain is defined by its complex drainage network, anchored by the Michigamme River in the northwest and the winding course of the Ford River in the south. The southern edge of the map shows the industrial fingerprint of the Escanaba and Lake Superior railroad corridor, which follows the river valleys. Smaller tributaries like Schwartz Creek, Twomile Creek, and McGregor Creek carve through the heavily forested township of Sagola, indicating a region shaped by timber and wilderness. The detailed topography illustrates the lowlands and marshes surrounding Turner Creek and Weber Creek, providing a clear record of the watershed before modern infrastructure changes.
