1964 Map of St. Martin Island

About this map

St Martin Bay and the surrounding islands of Lake Huron are the focal points of this mid-1960s survey. The map documents the scattered archipelagic geography of the northern Great Lakes, dominated by the heavily wooded Hiawatha National Forest on the mainland and the prominent St Martin Island. On Big St Martin Island, a notable Indian Burial Ground is identified, indicating the long-standing cultural and historical significance of these landforms before modern recreational and forestry use. The shoreline is characterized by distinctive features such as St Martin Point and the inland Paquin Lake, while the very southern edge of the sheet briefly touches the northernmost reaches of Mackinac Island State Park. This topography captures a landscape defined by water and timber, where only a few unimproved routes like Carpenter Road penetrate the dense forest cover.
