About this map

Tahquamenon Falls State Park centers on the winding course of the Tahquamenon River as it snakes through the dense woodlands of the Lake Superior State Forest. This 1951 survey, with revisions from 1975, highlights the natural landscape and the isolated settlements and camps that define this stretch of the Upper Peninsula. Key landmarks include the Lower Falls and several small interior lakes like Water Tank Lakes and Camp 10 Lakes.

Human activity is concentrated at river access points and sporting camps. The settlement of Timberlost and nearby Whitehouse Landing indicate the river's historic role in transport and recreation. To the east, the Soo Hunting Club and Bowers Lodge reflect the area's long-standing draw for outdoor enthusiasts. The map also records a small Airfield and various stream crossings, including Schouts Cr and Bowers Creek, near the Luce Co and Chippewa Co boundary line.
