1957 Map of Sault Sainte Marie

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Sault Sainte Marie serves as the international anchor of this mid-century survey, where the St Marys River connects Lake Superior and Lake Huron. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling reaches of the Lake Superior State Forest, Mackinac State Forest, and Marquette National Forest, illustrating the region's heavy reliance on timber and natural resource management. Along the coastline, distinctive landmarks like the Grand Sable Dunes and Whitefish Point stand as maritime sentinels. Inland, the arrival of the Cold War is evident through the presence of Kinross Air Force Base and the Raco Air Force (Auxiliary Field). Transportation networks of the era are well-defined, featuring the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie and Duluth South Shore and Atlantic railroads, which linked remote settlements such as Newberry and Grand Marais to the industrial hub at the Soo.
