1931 Map of Seney NW

About this map

State Highway No 77 bisects this northern Michigan landscape, where the headwaters of the Fox River and Tahquamenon systems converge during the early 1930s. The map reveals a transition between the northern high ground of the Alger and Schoolcraft county line and the extensive wetlands to the south. This region is characterized by numerous small lakes and ponds, such as Dutch Fred Lake, Snyder Lake, and the cluster of Tahquamenon Lakes in the northeast. The presence of Lavender Corner at the intersection of the highway and the county boundary provides a specific point of reference for local historians. Of particular interest to researchers of the region's logging era is Camp No 7 Creek, which hints at the temporary lumber camps that once peppered this wooded terrain. Numerous waterways, including Haymeadow Creek and Coal Creek, illustrate the complex drainage patterns of this Upper Peninsula wilderness.
