1956 Map of Sault Sainte Marie

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

St Marys River serves as the focal point of this Eastern United States survey, connecting the commerce of the Upper Peninsula with the Great Lakes shipping lanes. The map captures the mid-century landscape of the Eastern Upper Peninsula, where the Soo Line railroad cuts through the heavy timberlands of the Hiawatha National Forest and Mackinac State Forest. Small lakeside settlements like Shelldrake and Emerson appear along the shores of Whitefish Bay, while the international border between Michigan and Ontario splits the waters near Sault Sainte Marie. Inland, the survey reveals a network of rivers like the Tahquamenon and Manistique, indicating the importance of these waterways to the local economy and the established Bay Mills Indian Reservation.
