Continuer la lecturePublished in 1977 using survey data from 1954, the US Geological Survey’s “Marquette” captures one of Michigan’s most dramatic Lake Superior landscapes at a moment of postwar transformation. Drawn at the precise 1:24,000 scale, the map presents Marquette not merely as a city, but as a meeting point of harbor, university town, mining hinterland, and northern wilderness. The shoreline of Lake Superior forms the map’s grand natural axis, with Marquette Harbor, Presque Isle Park, and the surrounding bluffs anchoring the composition. Roads, rail corridors, waterways, and settlement patterns reveal a community shaped by iron, timber, shipping, education, and recreation. The later publication date gives the map an added historical resonance, preserving mid-century survey observations within a cartographic language refined by decades of USGS practice.
The US Geological Survey brought to this sheet the disciplined visual clarity for which its topographic maps are prized. Contour lines articulate the rises and falls of the Upper Peninsula terrain, while color-coded symbols distinguish roads, buildings, woodland, open ground, marsh, and water with quiet authority. Around Marquette, the land is anything but flat: ridges, river valleys, and rocky uplands descend toward the vast plane of Lake Superior. The Carp River and Dead River cut through the mapped landscape, their courses suggesting both natural force and the industrial history that accompanied waterpower, transport, and resource extraction. This is a map designed for practical use, yet its layered detail gives it the visual richness of a historical portrait.
Marquette itself appears as a compact urban center with strong ties to the lakefront and the surrounding road network. US Route 41 and M-28, crucial arteries through Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, connect the city to Negaunee, Ishpeming, Big Bay, and more distant communities tied to the iron range and the Superior shoreline. Northern Michigan University is part of the civic geography, marking Marquette’s role as an educational and cultural center as well as a working harbor town. Trowbridge Park, Montello Park, and Marquette Township help show the city’s outward growth, while the street grids and developed corridors reflect the expanding suburban and institutional landscape of the mid-twentieth century.
The map’s natural features are among its most compelling elements. Presque Isle Park projects into Lake Superior with the distinctive presence that has made it one of Marquette’s beloved landmarks, while Little Presque Isle and the route toward Big Bay evoke the rugged beauty of the north shore. Inland, Harlow Lake and Teal Lake contribute to a landscape of glacial basins, forested uplands, and freshwater systems. The careful rendering of shorelines, streams, and relief allows the viewer to sense the region’s physical drama: hard rock headlands, wooded slopes, river mouths, and cold inland lakes. Lake Superior dominates not only geographically, but emotionally, giving the sheet a sense of scale and grandeur.
As a historical document, “Marquette” offers a revealing glimpse of the region’s evolving land use and urban development. The 1954 survey data preserves the arrangement of roads, neighborhoods, industrial corridors, and natural spaces during an era when the Upper Peninsula was balancing older extractive industries with tourism, education, and modern infrastructure. The map shows how Marquette’s identity emerged from its relationship with the lake, its hinterland, and the transportation routes that tied it to the iron-mining towns of Negaunee and Ishpeming. With its meticulous USGS symbology and richly varied topography, this map is both scientific record and regional story: a beautifully ordered view of a northern Michigan city poised between wilderness, industry, and the immense waters of Superior.

Looking for a particular place? Review the detailed images to confirm that the town, landmark or feature you have in mind appears on the map. If you are unsure, ask our workshop to check before you order.
Detailed maps are especially rewarding at larger sizes, where names, boundaries and decorative features have more room to be appreciated. Use the close-up preview and size guide to choose the right scale for your wall.
This map looks amazing at sizes all the way up to 50in (125cm). If you are looking for a larger map, please get in touch.
The model in the listing images is holding the 16x20in (40x50cm) version of this map.
Where personalisation is available, you can add a short title or dedication, mark one meaningful place, or request one considered visual detail. See personalised map examples.
Every piece is printed to museum-grade archival standards using fade-resistant pigment inks on acid-free matte paper. Choose an unframed map print, framed map or canvas using the finish options above. Framed maps use crystal-clear optical acrylic and arrive ready to hang.
With its rich detail and strong sense of place, this map makes a considered gift for a new home, anniversary, retirement or anyone with a personal connection to the area shown. Still deciding? Explore our collection of rare old and vintage maps to discover another place, period or style.
This map is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The map is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present a map without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas maps and explore the differences between my different finishes.
For something truly unique, this map is also available in "Unique 3D", our trademarked process that dramatically transforms the map so that it has a wonderful sense of depth. We combine the original map with detailed topography and elevation data, so that mountains and the terrain really "pop". For more info and examples of 3D maps, check my Unique 3D page.

Mon cadre standard est un cadre en bois dur noir de style galerie. Il est simple et a un aspect assez moderne. Mon cadre standard mesure environ 20 mm (0,8 po) de large.
J'utilise de l'acrylique super clair (perspex/acrylite) pour le verre du cadre. C'est plus léger et plus sûr que le verre - et cela a meilleur aspect, car la réflexivité est plus faible.
Six couleurs de cadre standard sont disponibles gratuitement (noir, marron foncé, gris foncé, chêne, blanc et or antique). Des encadrements et montages/matelassages personnalisés sont disponibles si vous recherchez autre chose.
La plupart des cartes, œuvres d'art et illustrations sont également disponibles sous forme de toile encadrée. Nous utilisons une toile en coton mate (non brillante), que nous tendons sur un cadre en bois de boîte provenant de sources durables, puis nous 'flottions' la pièce à l'intérieur d'un cadre en bois. Le résultat final est assez beau, et il n'y a pas de vitrage qui gêne.
Tous les cadres sont fournis "prêts à accrocher", avec soit une corde, soit des supports à l'arrière. Les très grands cadres auront des plaques de suspension lourdes et/ou une latte de montage. Si vous avez des questions, veuillez nous contacter.
Voir quelques exemples de mes cartes encadrées et de cartes en toile encadrées.
Alternativement, je peux également fournir de vieilles cartes et œuvres d'art sur toile, sur panneau en mousse, en coton et d'autres matériaux.
Si vous souhaitez encadrer votre carte ou œuvre d'art vous-même, veuillez lire d'abord mon guide des tailles.
Mes cartes sont des reproductions de cartes originales de très haute qualité.
Je recherche des cartes originales et rares auprès de bibliothèques, de maisons de ventes aux enchères et de collections privées du monde entier, je les restaure dans mon atelier de Londres, puis j'utilise des encres et des imprimantes giclées spécialisées pour créer de magnifiques cartes encore plus belles que l'originale.
Mes cartes sont imprimées sur du papier d’archives mat (non brillant) sans acide qui semble de très haute qualité et ressemble presque à une carte. En termes techniques, le grammage/épaisseur du papier est de 10 mil/200 g/m². C'est parfait pour l'encadrement.
J’imprime avec des encres pigmentaires Epson ultrachrome giclée UV résistantes à la décoloration – certaines des meilleures encres que vous puissiez trouver.
je peux aussi faire cartes sur toile, chiffon en coton et autres matériaux exotiques.

Published in 1977 using survey data from 1954, the US Geological Survey’s “Marquette” captures one of Michigan’s most dramatic Lake Superior landscapes at a moment of postwar transformation.

The shoreline of Lake Superior forms the map’s grand natural axis, with Marquette Harbor, Presque Isle Park, and the surrounding bluffs anchoring the composition. Roads, rail corridors, waterways, and settlement patterns reveal a community shaped by iron, timber, shipping, education, and recreation. The later publication date gives the map an added historical resonance, preserving mid-century survey observations within a cartographic language refined by decades of USGS practice.
