1949 Map of Delaware

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

The rugged shoreline of Lake Superior dominates this portion of the northern Keweenaw Peninsula, where the landscape transitions from rocky harbors to high inland ridges. Small settlements like Delaware and Mandan sit along the winding course of the Montreal River, reflecting the late 1940s character of this remote mining and wilderness region. The topography is defined by significant elevations such as Mt Lookout and Gratiot Mountain, with the Brockway Mountain Drive following the high ground to provide expansive views of the surrounding waters. Numerous inland water bodies, including Bailey Lake and Lac La Belle, are connected by a network of creeks like Silver Creek and Upson Creek. This survey captures the area just as modern recreational infrastructure began to emerge, noted by the presence of Esrey Park along the coast, while maintaining the isolation of the Copper Country interior.
