1946 Map of Hancock

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Hancock stands as the industrial and social anchor of this Copper Country landscape, where the legacy of mining is etched into the terrain. The presence of the Franklin Mine and the nearby settlements of Lower Pewabic and Pewabic reflect the region’s intensive extraction history, while numerous burial grounds like Lakeside Cem and St Joseph Cem provide vital links for genealogical research. The landscape transitions from the dense urban grid of Hancock north toward the rugged shoreline of Lake Superior, passing through the wooded townships of Quincy and Osceola.
