1944 Map of Fortune Lakes

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Brule River forms a natural border at the southern edge of this Michigan-Wisconsin borderland, where heavy timber and water dominate the landscape. In the mid-1940s, the village of Alpha stands as the primary settlement in the eastern section, connected by the Chicago and Northwestern railroad to the mining outposts of Dunn Location and New Bridge Location. The map reveals a transition from industry to recreation, with Bewabic Park established on the shores of First Lake and the Iron County Forest Preserve covering the northern highlands.
