USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
Hiawatha National Forest dominates this landscape where the Whitefish River and Tacoosh River empty into the northern reaches of Lake Michigan. The 1950s shoreline is defined by the sharp convergence of Little Bay de Noc and Big Bay de Noc, separated by a peninsula reaching down toward Stonington. This survey captures the region's mid-century character, balancing small-town life in Rapid River and Masonville with an economy shaped by the Minneapolis Sault Ste Marie and Atlantic RR and the logging legacy of the surrounding timberlands.
