1952 Map of Gwinn

About this map

Mining operations in Forsyth and Richmond define this landscape along the Escanaba River and its East Branch. Although the survey notes all mining features are inactive by the early 1950s, the concentration of sites like the Stegmiller Mine, Princeton No 2 Mine, and Joplin Mine underscores the heavy industrial heritage of the Princeton and Gwinn districts. The settlement pattern is closely tied to the resource extraction era, with townsites such as Austin, New Swanzy, and Swanzy clustered around the river and rail corridors.
