1913 Map of Sault Sainte Marie

About this map

Fort Brady stands as a central landmark overlooking the upper Great Lakes waterway on this detailed reconnaissance survey. The military presence is balanced by the commercial bustle of the waterfront, where Shine Dock and Hickler Dock serviced ships maneuvering through the Little Rapids and into Hay Lake. Inland, the landscape is defined by the intersection of the Duluth South Shore and Atlantic Ry. and the Minneapolis St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Ry., which spurred the growth of rural stations and hamlets.
