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.
