About this map

Lake Superior dominates the northern edge of this coastal survey, where the Sand River empties into the lake just north of the Duluth South Shore and Atlantic railway line. The interior landscape is defined by the marshlands and watercourses of the Rock River watershed, including the secluded waters of Hovey Lake. This 1932 field examination represents an early collaboration between the U. S. Geological Survey and the Air Corps, U. S. Army, utilizing aerial photography to map the boundary between Marquette and Alger counties. The lack of dense road networks or established towns at this date highlights the remote, water-driven character of this Upper Peninsula shoreline before modern development reshaped the region's accessibility.
