1946 Map of Sunset Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

Sunset Lake and its surrounding wetlands anchor this mid-1940s survey of Iron County. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the Net River and the Paint River, which converge in a region shaped by timber and water power. A notable industrial marker is the Paint Dam (Abandoned) on the northern reach of the Paint River, signifying a shift in local water management. Near the confluence of the river and Parks Creek, the Me-Squak-Cum-E Park occupies the riverbank, while the waterway itself transitions through Hemlock Rapids and Lower Hemlock Rapids. Numerous numbered lakes, such as Lake Sixteen, Lake Nine, and Lake Fifteen, dot the southern terrain, linked by small tributaries like Costigan Creek and Crystal Spring Creek. The map reflects an era when the interior of the Upper Peninsula was heavily utilized for its natural resources, with the infrastructure of dams and parks still clearly delineated.
