1951 Map of Sheephead Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Lake Superior State Forest covers this stretch of the Upper Peninsula, where the landscape transitions through the dense wetlands of the Whitefish region. Photogrammetric methods and 1950 aerial photography reveal a remote interior defined by the winding course of the Betsy River and its South Branch. The presence of the Prison Camp near the eastern margin and the Porcupine Inn along a forest trail suggests a specialized mid-century use of this northern wilderness, balancing state-managed labor and early seasonal recreation.
