USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
The copper-mining legacy of Michigan's Upper Peninsula is etched across this landscape, centered on the historic settlements of Greenland and Mass. By the mid-20th century, the industrial intensity of the region is evident in the network of logging and mining camps like Abbott-Fox Camp and Hilger Camp scattered through the Baraga State Forest. The map documents a transition in resource extraction, noting several "inactive" sites such as the Adventure Mine and Lake Mine, alongside the active Caledonia Mine.
