About this map

The copper-rich Keweenaw Peninsula is captured here in the mid-1940s, with updates from the 1970s reflecting the industrial and social landscape of northern Michigan. Mining operations are central to the region's geography, anchored by the Ahmeek Mine and the Red Jacket Mine. A dense network of company towns and settlements like Bumbletown, Phillipsville, and Centennial Heights cluster around the mineral veins, connected by transportation routes such as the Old Railroad Grade.

Along the rocky coastline of Lake Superior, the landscape transitions from industrial centers to the wooded hills near Sevenmile Point. The map provides significant genealogical and local history data, marking the Ahmeek Cem and Lakeview Cem, as well as the Lake Shore Sch. Water features like the Gratiot River and Seneca Lake drain the high ground, illustrating the rugged environment that shaped the development of Ahmeek and Copper City.
