1932 Map of Skandia SW

About this map

The Lake Superior and Ishpeming railroad corridor defines the industrial and transportation network of this Marquette County landscape during the early 1930s. Small rail stops and landings such as Flo Landing, Swans Landing, and Selma dot the lines, while the U S Upper Peninsula Experimental Forest occupies a significant portion of the northeastern quadrant. The map reveals a community structured around rural education and fire prevention, evidenced by the Fire Tower Sch, Carlshend Sch, and the Skandia Fire Tower. Settlements like Carlshend and Dukes serve as local hubs, connected by State Highway No 28 and U S Highway No 41. Deep in the timberland, more temporary or specialized occupations are marked by locations like Wendt and Bartles Camp and Greens Camp, providing a detailed look at the logging or hunting camps of the Depression era.
