1985 Map of Two Hearted River

About this map

Lake Superior dominates the northern horizon of this Upper Peninsula survey, where the rugged shoreline stretches from the Grand Marais Harbor eastward toward Whitefish Bay. The landscape is defined by vast protected areas, including the Superior State Forest and Tahquamenon Falls State Park, with the iconic Two Hearted River winding through the central timberlands. Small settlements and specialized junctions like Deer Park, Pine Stump Junction, and Lavender Corner punctuate the inland woods, often connected by routes labeled simply as Grade or Old Grade, hinting at the region's logging heritage. Further east, the fishing and timbering history of the area is represented by Paradise and the riverside site of Emerson, while prominent natural features like Betsy Lake and Tahquamenon Falls mark the transition toward the bay. This map provides a look at the mid-1980s configuration of these remote Lake Superior coastal lands.
