1958 Map of Shingleton

About this map

The dense forests of the Upper Peninsula dominate this landscape, where the Alger Co Schoolcraft Co line cuts through a region defined by logging and transit history. Small settlements such as Shingleton and Creighton sit along the route of the Duluth South Shore and Atlantic railroad, serving as nodes in an area heavily managed for conservation and timber. The map reveals the intricate water network of the Hiawatha National Forest and the Manistique River State Forest, where the Manistique River and its various branches, including the North Branch, wind through extensive marshlands.
