Alpha and its surrounding mining settlements define this Northwoods landscape at the turn of the decade. The map details several distinct historic residential sites tied to local industry, including New Bristol Location, Monongahela Location, and Dunn Location. The village of Alpha serves as a primary hub, anchored by the Alpha Post Office. To the west, the expansive waters of Chicagon Lake and the connected series of Fortune Lakes—comprising First Lake, Second Lake, and Third Lake—illustrate the region's importance for recreation and seasonal residence, exemplified by the Fortune Lake Lutheran Camp.
