1951 Map of Shallows

About this map

The international boundary along the Saint Marys River separates the Algoma District and Chippewa County in this mid-century topographic record. The landscape is defined by the convergence of heavy rail lines, including the Duluth South Shore and Atlantic and the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie. In the northern section, the urban edge of Sault Ste Marie transitions into the Munuscong State Forest, featuring local landmarks like the Sherman Park Zoo and Nativity Ch. A significant military presence is visible at the Sault Ste Marie Air Force Station. Rural life south of the river is anchored by the Finnish Ch and the Pine Grove Cem near the settlement of Dafter. This survey also documents maritime hazards and infrastructure, including Submerged Cribs and Log Booms near Pointe aux Pins.
