About this map

Mining operations and industrial rail lines define the landscape of Marquette County in the mid-1950s. The small settlement of Diorite serves as a hub for local extraction, situated at the junction of the Chicago and North Western and the Chicago Lake Superior and Ishpeming railroads. The map reveals a high concentration of iron and gold interests, ranging from the American Mine and Blueberry Mine to the Michigan Gold Mine and the Abandoned Barnes and Hecker Mine.
