1948 Map of Delaware

About this map

The Montreal River cuts through the high ridges of the Keweenaw Peninsula, revealing a landscape defined by its mining-era settlements and dramatic relief. At Delaware and Mandan, the map traces the footprints of copper-country habitation along the winding roads that follow the terrain's natural contours. This mid-century survey captures the region as it transitioned from an active industrial center toward a destination for northern travel, evidenced by the presence of Esrey Park and the famous Brockway Mountain Drive overlooking the cold waters of Lake Superior.
