1962 Map of Florence West

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Brule River forms a jagged natural boundary between Wisconsin and Michigan on this 1962 survey, where timberlands and waterways define the regional character. The Mastodon State Forest dominates the northern reaches, flanking the Paint River Pond and the turbulent Horserace Rapids. To the south, the village of Florence serves as the focal point of the Iron Range, showing a cluster of residential blocks and local landmarks like St Marys Cem and American Legion Park. The industrial footprint of the era is evident in several mines and gravel pits scattered near the Chicago and North Western railroad line. Settlement patterns follow the rail corridor through rural stops like Stager and Tyran, while numerous named bodies of water such as Keyes Lake and Loon Lake suggest a landscape deeply tied to both extraction and woodland recreation.
