About this map

Shingleton serves as the primary hub of this landscape, situated at the junction of the Duluth South Shore and Atlantic and the Manistique and Lake Superior railroads. The topography is dominated by the sprawling wetlands of the Munising and Hiawatha areas, where a complex network of waterways like the North Branch Anderson Creek and Stutts Creek drain the low-lying timberlands.

Strategic transportation corridors of the early 1930s are clearly marked, including State Highway No 28 and State Highway No 94, alongside a prominent Transmission Line cutting through the northeast. Deep in the southern half, a cluster of named water bodies such as Lilley Lake, Boot Lake, and Sand Lake provides specific landmarks for those tracing historical land use or hunting camps. The map's detail extends to named railroad sidings like Fenton, reflecting the industrial and logistical focus of the Upper Peninsula during this era.
