1972 Map of Rust

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Thunder Bay River State Forest dominates the terrain of this 1972 survey, illustrating a landscape defined by timber history and hydrological networks on the border of Montmorency and Alpena counties. The small settlement of Rust and the nearby Rust Sch serve as the primary local hubs, while an Old Railroad Grade cutting across the northern half of the sheet signals the region's industrial past. The area is heavily marked by water, from the expansive Fletcher Pond and Turtle Lake to the winding South Branch Thunder Bay River. Evidence of private land management and aviation is visible at the Turtle Lake Club Airport, highlighting how the territory has been utilized for recreation and resource extraction beyond traditional agriculture. Numerous Gravel Pits are scattered throughout the quadrangle, indicating active geological harvesting alongside protected forest lands.
