1931 Map of Seul Choix Point NW

About this map

Seul Choix Point Light stands as a lonely sentinel at the tip of a prominent peninsula in this 1931 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey. The landscape is dominated by the complex hydrology of the Lake Michigan shoreline, where the inland McDonald Lake and Shuberts Lake give way to expansive wetlands. The presence of the Seul Choix School near the point suggests a small, isolated community of families tied to the lighthouse or local maritime trade. Across the northern edge, the Minn St Paul and Sault Ste Marie railroad cuts through the forest, providing a vital land link to the Upper Peninsula's interior. This map is an advance sheet compiled in part from Air Corps aerial photographs, capturing the drainage patterns of Bulldog Creek and the Milakokia River with significant detail for the era.
