1951 Map of Sullivan Creek

About this map

Marquette National Forest dominates this northern Michigan landscape, characterized by a dense network of waterways and early 1950s recreational and military footprints. In the north, Raco Field and an adjacent Rifle Range suggest the strategic importance of the region during the early Cold War era. The Duluth South Shore and Atlantic railroad provides a primary east-west corridor, passing near a Lookout Tower on Demond Hill. The area is deeply defined by its riparian systems, including Sullivan Creek, the Pine River, and several branches of Black Creek. Local human presence is marked by specialized camps and lodges such as Ol Misery Lodge, Camp Quiet, and the Black Creek Hunting Club, alongside public resources like the Sullivan Creek Picnic Ground and a Fish Hatchery.
