1956 Map of Bergland NE

About this map

The White Pine Mine dominates the northern landscape of this interior Ontonagon County map, situated just east of the copper mining settlement of White Pine. The terrain is defined by the steep elevation changes of the Ottawa National Forest, where the Bergland Lookout Tower sits atop a 1,775-foot peak. This area represents a mid-century industrial and natural landscape, with the historic Duluth South Shore and Atlantic Railroad Grade cutting across the northern reaches near Mineral Creek. To the west, the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park borders the Big Iron River, showcasing the region's move toward wilderness preservation alongside active industry. Rare localized landmarks like Krobath Cabin and the waterfall at Little Trap Falls offer specific points of interest for local history researchers and hikers tracing old trails.
