1951 Map of Greenland
USGS Topo · Published 1951About this map
The Copper Range RR corridor anchors this portion of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, connecting the interior mining settlements of Greenland, Mass, and Lake Mine to the rugged coastline of Lake Superior. The landscape reflects a transition from industrial activity to managed wilderness, with numerous timber and work camps—such as Camp 17, Hilger Camp, and Abbott-Fox Camp—scattered across the Baraga State Forest. Mining remains a central theme, though the presence of the Adventure Mine (Inactive) and an Inactive Shaft alongside the active Caledonia Mine signals the evolving economic fortunes of the copper country at mid-century.
