About this map

Logging camps and wilderness infrastructure define the landscape of Masonville in the early 1930s. This survey, compiled from early aerial photographs by the Air Corps, reveals a network of temporary settlements and resource-extraction points tucked between the Whitefish River and Rapid River. Named sites like Dave Woods Camp, Linds Camp, and Westling and Oberg Camp indicate a period of active timber harvesting or forest management, while the presence of the Mills Sch on Maple Ridge suggests a scattered but established community of workers and their families.

Transportation is anchored by U.S. Highway No. 41 and the Sault Ste. Marie and St. Paul route, crossing through a terrain marked by numerous beaver dams and small tributaries like Baker Creek and Anderson Creek. The inclusion of the Dutch Mill and specialized locations like Ducettes Spur provides specific touchpoints for local historians tracing the development of Delta County's industrial and social geography before the mid-century.
