1970 Map of Webb Lake

About this map

Chippewa National Forest dominates this northern landscape, where a dense network of glacial lakes defines the geography. The area between Webb Lake and Pleasant Lake showcases a transition toward recreational development, evidenced by a Golf Course and a prominent Radio Tower (KNMT-TV) standing near Long Lake. The map details a complex hydrologic system including smaller basins like Larson Lake, Stony Lake, and Blueberry Lake, many of which are connected by narrow channels or seasonal wetlands. While much of the land remains under federal management or within the Birch Lake and Ponto Lake townships, human activity is visible in scattered Gravel Pit sites and established public access points. This 1970 snapshot preserves the lake-country character of Cass County before further shoreline modernization, tracing the intricate boundaries of the Forest Boundary.
