1949 Map of Fort Wilkins

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

Old Fort Wilkins stands as a primary historical anchor on this northern tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula, situated between the cold waters of Lake Superior and the elongated basin of Lake Fanny Hooe. The 1940s landscape is defined by the transition from maritime navigation at the Copper Harbor Lighthouse to the interior industrial legacy of the Copper Country. Evidence of the region’s mineral history is visible on the slopes of the East Bluff, where an Abandoned Copper Mine is recorded south of the main harbor area.
