1982 Map of Trout Creek

About this map

Trout Creek and the surrounding timberlands of the Ottawa National Forest define this 1980s landscape in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The settlement patterns follow the industrial corridors of the era, notably the Soo Line railroad which passes through the village of Trout Creek and the smaller community of Agate. The topographical survey emphasizes the region's complex hydrology, dominated by the Bond Falls Flowage and the cascading waters of Agate Falls and Little Falls along the Middle Branch Ontonagon River. Cultural markers of local history include the Agate Cem and the Gospel Mission Ch near Calderwood. Evidence of earlier transit remains visible in the Old RR Grade cutting through the forest south of the flowage, offering a clear record of changing transportation and logging infrastructure in Ontonagon County.
