1981 Map of Government Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Government Peak rises as the central landmark in this 1981 study of the Porcupine Mountains along the shoreline of Lake Superior. The landscape is defined by the steep Cloud Peak Escarpment and high-elevation water bodies like Lake of the Clouds and Carp Lake. This area preserves evidence of early industrial efforts within what is now the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park, specifically naming the Carp Lake Mine, Cuyahoga Mine, and Union Mine. These sites, tucked between the peaks and the Carp River, reflect the copper mining legacy of the Upper Peninsula. Recreational infrastructure of the early 1980s is visible at Union Bay and along the Overlook Trail, showing the transition of this copper-rich terrain into a dedicated wilderness preserve.
