2019 Map of Hancock
USGS Topo · Published 2019About this map
The industrial legacy of the Copper Country is preserved across Keweenaw National Historical Park, where the urban landscape of Hancock meets the remnants of 19th-century mining. The map documents the tight concentration of company settlements and shafts, including Franklin Mine, Pewabic, and Lower Pewabic, situated along the slopes of Arcadian Hill. These sites, linked by the Hancock to Calumet Route, reflect an era when mineral extraction defined the regional economy and town planning. Along the Keweenaw Waterway, the community of Ripley and the outskirts of Houghton border the canal, while the Keweenaw State Trail follows the former rail corridors that once hauled ore to the stamps. Higher on the peninsula, the landscape transitions to rural homesteads and woodlands, marked by family-named cemeteries like Waasa Cem and the quiet waters of Bear Lake.
