1951 Map of Shelldrake

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The northern tip of Michigan's Upper Peninsula is documented here along the shores of Lake Superior and Whitefish Bay. In the early 1950s, this landscape was defined by its relationship with water and wood, featuring scattered hunting and sports clubs such as the Superior Rod and Gun Club, Machine Club, and the Bear Hunter Club. The settlement pattern is sparse, with small outposts like Shelldrake and Paradise serving as key markers along the coastline. The interior is a complex network of wetlands and waterways, notably where the Betsy River snakes toward the lake and the Taquamenon River flows into Taquamenon Bay near Emerson. This survey captures the region before extensive modernization, preserving the locations of remote sites like Whitehorse and Timberlost.
