1955 Map of Greenwood

About this map

The Greenwood Reservoir and its surrounding wetlands dominate this 1975 photorevision of the Marquette County landscape. The map captures a transition in the local topography, documenting the reservoir's spillway and flooded timberlines alongside the industrial and social hubs of Greenwood and South Greenwood. To the north, the Duluth South Shore and Atlantic railroad corridor serves as the primary artery connecting the small settlements of Snowville and Clarksburg. This survey provides a precise look at the mid-1970s land use, where recreation and industry converge in the Michigamme State Forest. Cultural landmarks like a Drive-in Theater, a Racetrack, and the Dexter Landing Field sit just north of the Greenwood Mine, while the southern reaches follow the winding course of the Middle Branch Escanaba River.
