1963 Map of Schaffer

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Escanaba River State Forest and Menominee State Forest dominate this Upper Peninsula landscape, where industrial logging and transport patterns are clearly visible in the early 1960s. The Chicago and North Western Line cuts a diagonal path through the timberland, connecting small rail-side settlements like Perronville, Whitney, and La Branche. These communities, alongside smaller stops such as Eustis and Teseh, represent the rail-dependent economy of the era. The hydro-electric potential of the region is evident at the Boney Falls Basin on the Escanaba River, while the southern reaches of the map show agricultural and social centers such as Schaffer and the Bark River Cem. The network of creeks, including Tenmile Creek and Whitney Creek, underscores the complex drainage of this forest-heavy terrain within Menominee Co and Delta Co.
