1931 Map of Skeels Lake NE
USGS Topo · Published 1931About this map
The Hiawatha National Forest dominates this 1931 survey of the Michigan Upper Peninsula, revealing a complex landscape of glacial lakes and wetlands. The intricate shoreline of Skeels Lake and the serpentine path of the Indian River highlight a region where water routes were essential for timber and early recreation. This area, spanning the Alger and Schoolcraft county lines, shows the wilderness before modern road development was fully realized. Significant landmarks for local history include Hill Tower and several large water bodies like McKeaver Lake and Petes Lake. The map serves as a vital record of this backcountry during the early years of the National Forest's management, documenting named lakes such as Straits Lake and Grassy Lake that remain central to the region's geography.
