1954 Map of Beacon Hill

About this map

Copper Range rail lines define the industrial character of this Lake Superior shoreline in Stanton township during the mid-1950s. The settlement of Redridge serves as a focal point for the region’s hydraulic history, anchored by the Redridge Dam and the nearby Salmon Trout River. Evidence of the area's mining and milling heritage is clearly marked by a prominent Stack and extensive Tailings deposits along the coast, which contrast with the community structures of Freda and Beacon Hill. Small-scale local institutions, including the Beacon Hill Sch, and recreational spaces like the Boy Scout Camp indicate a settled, multi-generational community existing alongside the heavy infrastructure of the Upper Peninsula's copper country.
