1955 Map of Greenwood

About this map

Industrial iron mining and transport dominate this mid-century landscape in the Upper Peninsula, where the Duluth South Shore and Atlantic railroad cuts through the north. The presence of the Greenwood Mine near the settlement of Greenwood and the neighboring South Greenwood (Greenwood Sta) highlights the area's dependency on the mineral extraction economy. Further west, the small community of Clarksburg sits along the rail line, while the southern half of the quadrangle transitions into the protected timberlands of the Michigan State Forest.
