1952 Map of Thayer

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Chicago and North Western railroad corridor anchors this 1952 topographic study of the western Upper Peninsula, providing a vital link through the deep woods of the Ottawa National Forest. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and streams, including the prominent Beatons Lake and the smaller Ma In Gan Lake. At Gogebic Station, the rail line interacts with local geography, while secondary routes like Blacks Spur hint at the area's industrial past. The presence of both the Matchwood Lookout Tower and Watersmeet Lookout Tower underscores the region's managed wilderness character, while landmarks like Kukabika Falls on the Cisco Branch of the Ontonagon River mark the drainage patterns across the Gogebic and Ontonagon county line.
