About this map

Mining operations and educational institutions define the landscape of the Keweenaw Peninsula shortly after World War II. The city of Hancock serves as a hub, anchored by Suomi College and the industrial activity of the Franklin Mine and Pewabic. The intricate network of the Duluth South Shore and Atlantic, Mineral Range, and Copper Range railroads illustrates the importance of resource transport from the hills down to Portage Lake.
