1938, 1951 and 2012 historic aerial image comparison of Torch Lake proper.

The overlayed Sanborn maps found below (black lines only) detail building activity and contents in the Lake Linden area during 1938. Sanborn maps were originally produced to estimate fire insurance risk, though, they are now frequently used as a critical piece of data by historians, industrial archeaologists and those attempting restoration efforts.
