Hancock and its steep northern neighbors are defined by the legacies of the Copper Country's industrial heyday. This 1946 survey, with 1975 revisions, details the intricate settlement patterns along the Portage Lake shoreline and the high ridges above. The concentration of mining history is evident at the Franklin Mine and the nearby communities of Pewabic, Lower Pewabic, and Paavola. Along the water, the Ship Canal and Portage Lake serve as the maritime gateway, while the Soo Line railroad connects these hilltop locations to the regional economy.
