1953 Map of Rudyard

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The agricultural and forested landscape of the Eastern Upper Peninsula is defined here by the settlement of Rudyard, situated at the intersection of the Soo Line railroad and the highway corridor. This 1953 survey, updated with 1970s revisions, illustrates a community deeply tied to its rural institutions, including the Christian Reform Ch and Apostolic Ch. The terrain transitions from the open fields around town to the dense timberlands of the Munuscong State Forest and Hiawatha National Forest, where the topography becomes more pronounced around Marquette. Waterways such as the Pine River and Hiawatha Run carve through the glacial soils, while industrial activity is noted at the southern Gravel Pits. Local genealogists will find the location of the S Rudyard Cem particularly valuable for tracing early families in this Chippewa County region.
