1982 Map of Greenland

About this map

Greenland and Mass anchor the southern portion of this northern Michigan landscape, reflecting the copper mining heritage of Ontonagon County in the early 1980s. The terrain is defined by the steep rise of Adventure Mountain and the surrounding woodlands of the Mishw Abic State Forest. Hydrology is central to the area's layout, with the Firesteel River, Adventure Creek, and McGuire Creek carving through the township boundaries. Beyond the primary settlements, numerous outposts like Abbott-Fox Camp, Camp 10, and Camp 11 point to the area's active timber and resource economy. For local historians, the placement of Maple Grove Cem and the rail-oriented Greenland Junction provides a clear view of how these communities were organized around the infrastructure of the mining and logging era.
