About this map

The Michigamme River flows through a wilderness landscape of interconnected waterways and marshland in the mid-1950s, marking the border between Marquette and Baraga counties. This survey illustrates a period before significant modern development reached this portion of the Iron Range State Forest, where the terrain is dominated by complex drainage systems like Trout Falls Creek and the Spruce River. Large bodies of water such as Lake Michigamme and smaller secluded basins like Dashwa Lake and Nirish Lake characterize the glacial topography.
