Maps are a valuable tool for seeing history at work. Maps have been used as an aid to all types of transportation from steamboat routes to today’s single track bike trails. They are also used as a marketing tool, for reference, and entertainment. View maps of the Great Lakes and Marquette County. See how mapmakers have sometimes misled their viewers and how our landscape and surroundings have changed.

Marquette Regional History Center presents: Old Towne Forest ForensicsTwo Tours Offered
Wednesday, October 1, 1:00 p.m. & 6:00 p.m. The concept of “forest forensics” was coined by Tom Wessels and means to look for clues on land to understand human, climatic, and geologic actions that shaped a forest. We are thrilled to partner with MSU Extension’s Forestry and Natural Resources Educator, Anna Ellis, to take a hike at Old Towne in Negaunee. Once a neighborhood, the “caving grounds” are now a forest with a fascinating past. Meet at Jackson Mine Park Pavilion. Pre-registration is required, and tickets are on sale now. $10.00 per ticket; maximum 25 people per tour. For more info visit marquettehistory.org or call 906.226.3571.
