1957 Map of Tower

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Black Lake State Forest dominates this mid-century landscape in Cheboygan County, where the Detroit and Mackinac railroad cuts a diagonal path toward the shorelines of Black Lake. The settlement of Tower serves as a local hub near Tower Pond, while small rural centers like Afton and Legrand dot the western edge of the forest. This survey captures a moment of transition in rural education, specifically labeling School No 1 (Abandoned) and School No 2 (Abandoned), documenting the decline of the one-room schoolhouse system in favor of larger districts.
