1980 Map of Carp River

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park dominates this stretch of the Lake Superior shoreline, where the rugged Keweenaw Peninsula terrain meets the water. The landscape is defined by the dramatic Escarpment and high elevations like Green Mountain Peak and Miscowawbic Peak. This 1980 survey captures the area’s transition from a site of early industrial extraction to a protected wilderness, notably marking the Old Lafayette Mine near Lafayette Peak. Significant water features are concentrated in the interior, including the iconic Lake of the Clouds and the secluded Mirror Lake. The primitive transport network of the time is visible through specialized paths such as the Toledo Trail and Pinkerton Trail, which navigate the steep topography between the shore landings and the interior river systems like the Carp River and Washington Creek.
