1963 Map of Watson

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Escanaba and Lake Superior railroad cuts through the heart of this central Upper Peninsula landscape, connecting the small settlement of Watson to the surrounding timberlands. To the south, the Forest Home Cem and a local Townhall serve as focal points for the dispersed community, while the Chicago and North Western line skirts the eastern edge near Helena. This mid-century survey reveals a region defined by its water and industrial potential, from the Gardner Mine in the north to numerous Gravel Pits scattered throughout the Escanaba River State Forest. The geography is intricately carved by the West Branch Escanaba River and its many tributaries, including Chynes Creek and Lindsey Creek, while the Arnold Lookout Tower stands as a silent sentinel over the vast stretches of forest and swamp.
