1949 Map of Fort Wilkins

About this map

Copper Harbor and the surrounding wilderness of the Keweenaw Peninsula are captured here just before the mid-century, dominated by the waters of Lake Superior. The map centers on the historic grounds of Old Fort Wilkins within the Fort Wilkins State Park, situated on the narrow strip of land between the harbor and Lake Fanny Hooe. This landscape is a record of the region's mining heritage and natural geography, featuring the Copper Harbor Lighthouse guarding the rocky coast and an abandoned Copper Mine further inland.
