USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
Copper mining operations define the industrial landscape of the Keweenaw Peninsula in the mid-1940s. The dominance of the Calumet and Hecla rail lines and the prominent Ahmeek Mine reveal the scale of deep-shaft extraction that shaped these communities. High-density worker housing and commercial districts are concentrated in Ahmeek, Allouez, and Copper City, while the outlying areas show the legacy of the region's mineral wealth through the Red Jacket Mine and the sprawl of Centennial Heights.
