1985 Map of Rock River

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Old Charcoal Kilns Ruins (Historic Site) sit along the shores of Lake Superior, marking the industrial history of this Upper Peninsula landscape. Within the Hiawatha National Forest, the map captures the transition from heavy rail-based industry to a more recreational and managed forest environment. The transportation network is defined by the Soo Line and remnants of an Old RR Grade that once hauled timber and charcoal through the interior. Settlements such as Onota and Rock River are recorded alongside natural landmarks like Rock River Falls and Silver Falls. The presence of a Cem near the coast and several named ponds and creeks, such as Ginpole Lake and Slapneck Creek, provides specific points of interest for local history and genealogy research in this corner of Alger County.
