About this map

Delaware and Mandan anchor this late 1930s topographic record of the Keweenaw Peninsula, where the remnants of the copper mining era are traced by an Old Railroad Grade running parallel to the Montreal River. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the rocky shores of Lake Superior at Agate Harbor to the dramatic heights of Mt Bohemia and Gratiot Bluff.

Modern infrastructure of the time, such as Brockway Mountain Drive and State Highway No 26, began to provide access to these coastal and wilderness areas, including Esrey Park. The interior is a complex network of wetlands and small lakes like Lake Bailey, Lake Upson, and Meadow Lake, illustrating the drainage patterns of the northern woods before extensive post-war development altered the accessibility of this Copper Country region.
