USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
Mining operations and iron-ore logistics define the landscape of this mid-century survey along the Michigan and Wisconsin border. Dense networks of the Chicago and Northwestern and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroads crisscross the terrain to service industrial sites like the Bates Mine, Rogers Mine, and Bengal Mine. These extraction points are the core of local settlements such as Gaastra, Caspian, and Palatka, where residential clusters sit adjacent to the workings.
