1954 Map of Traverse City

About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the northwestern coastline of this Northern Michigan landscape, where the distinct landforms of Pyramid Point, Sleeping Bear Point, and Old Mission Point define the shore. The interior reflects a mid-century network of timberlands and protected acreage, including the expansive Huron National Forest and Manistee National Forest. Settlement centers like Traverse City, Cadillac, and Grayling serve as hubs for the regional transportation grid, which at this time still relied on the Chesapeake and Ohio RR and Pennsylvania RR alongside burgeoning state routes.
