1951 Map of Vermilion

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Lake Superior dominates the northern landscape of this coastal survey, where the shoreline of the Upper Peninsula meets the vast waters of the Whitefish Bay area. The settlement of Vermilion serves as the primary landmark on this stretch of coast, situated near a prominent Tower and nestled within the protected lands of the Whitefish State Forest. The geography is defined by a narrow strip of land between the Great Lake and a series of inland water bodies, including Browns Lake, Twomile Lake, and Weatherhogs Lake. The boundary between Luce and Chippewa Counties cuts through this area, as does the line for McMillan. This 1950s documentation, based on Army Map Service data, captures a quiet, wooded coastal environment where drainage is managed by small coastal streams like Browns Creek and Weatherhogs Creek.
