1951 Map of Vermilion SE

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Lake Superior dominates the northern reaches of this coastal Michigan survey, where the vast expanse of the Great Lakes meets a shoreline defined by the Whitefish State Forest. The geography reveals a strip of low-lying terrain characterized by scattered inland water bodies, including the curiously named Weatherhogs Lake and the Marsh Lakes complex. The landscape suggests a remote, undeveloped stretch of the Upper Peninsula, largely preserved from industrial or residential density. The coastal hydrography, recorded in the early 1950s, indicates a rugged transition between the open water and the forested interior, with Little Lake tucked near the eastern boundary. This area represents a specific moment in mid-century conservation and land management in Chippewa County before more modern recreational development transformed the region.
