About this map

Houghton and Hancock anchor this detailed study of the Copper Country's evolving landscape along the Keweenaw Waterway. The map details the academic sprawl of Michigan Technological University and the civic heart of the region at the Houghton County Courthouse. To the west, the legacy of the copper boom is evident in the layout of Atlantic Mine, while smaller communities like Dodgeville, Hurontown, and Chassell trace the shoreline of Portage Lake and Pike Bay.

Modern recreational corridors like the Bill Nicholls Route Trl follow former industrial paths, crossing the Pilgrim River and Denton Creek. Genealogical interest is found in the Forest Hill Cem, American Legion Cem, and Chassell Township Cem. From the northern reaches near Isle Royale National Park to the southern wetlands of the Sturgeon River, the map captures the transition from dense urban centers to the expansive northern Michigan wilderness.
