1954 Map of Traverse Island

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Traverse Island sits prominently in the waters of Lake Superior off the eastern coast of the Keweenaw Peninsula, serving as the central landmark for this coastal survey. The shoreline is defined by the sweeping curve of Rabbit Bay, where the small settlement of Rabbit Bay is tucked along the coast near the mouth of Lahti Creek. Further south, the landscape is heavily wooded, encompassing a portion of the Baraga State Forest and the winding course of Le Chance Cr. The inland terrain transitions from low-lying wetlands around Mud Lake to the edges of Torch Lake in the northwest. This map illustrates the intersection of the region's timber resources and its maritime environment, showing the varied bathymetry of Keweenaw Bay alongside the unimproved coastal roads and isolated settlements of mid-century Houghton County.
