USGS Topo · Published 1948About this map
Copper mining infrastructure dominates this post-war survey of the Keweenaw Peninsula, centered on the industrial corridor between Houghton and Chassell. The landscape is a detailed record of extractive history, showing the expansive operations of the Isle Royale Mine and the Old Superior Mine alongside smaller settlements like Dodgeville and Hurontown. Along the waterfront, the Michigan College of Mining and Technology stands as a focal point of the region's academic and technical identity.
