About this map

Little Bay de Noc and the surrounding timberlands of the Hiawatha National Forest define this 1950s landscape, where the confluence of the Whitefish River and Rapid River meet the northern reaches of Lake Michigan. The settlement of Rapid River serves as a central hub, flanked by the Minneapolis, Sault Ste Marie rail line which connects the coastal communities of Masonville and Garth. This survey documents a transition from industrial exploitation to conservation, showing numerous Gravel Pits alongside established landmarks like the Rapid River Lookout Tower.
