1985 Map of Skandia

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Upper Peninsula timberlands and small Marquette County settlements define this 1985 survey, showing the landscape as it appeared just before the mid-1980s. The community of Skandia and the nearby Skandia Station serve as focal points for local history, alongside Yalmar and the smaller New Dalton. A legacy of the region's industrial past is visible in the Old Railroad Grade that cuts through the Escanaba River State Forest, tracing a path near Lake Le Vasseur. Cultural landmarks like the Country Chapel and Haglund Cem offer specific touchpoints for genealogical research. The northern edge of the map meets Lake Superior, where the James D Jeske Flooding and Laughing Whitefish River highlight the drainage patterns of the coastal forests. Large tracts of the Upper Peninsula Experimental Forest suggest the area's continued importance for forestry and land management during this era.
