1952 Map of Sands

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Sands and its surrounding uplands appear here in a period of gradual industrial and recreational transition south of Marquette. The Chicago and North Western railway cuts a diagonal path through the landscape, anchoring small settlements like Gentian and Sands Station. The terrain is defined by the sharp elevations of Migisy Bluff and the Negaunee Hills, which overlook a complex drainage system including the Carp River and the headwaters of the Branch Escanaba River.
