1961 Map of Hancock
USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
Houghton and Hancock anchor the Keweenaw Peninsula during a period of established copper country infrastructure. This 1961 edition illustrates the dense network of industrial and mining settlements that defined the region, including Atlantic Mine, Painesdale, and Trimountain. The Soo Line railroad connects these inland communities to the ports along Portage Lake and Torch Lake. Northward, the landscape shifts toward the maritime hazards of Lake Superior, marked by the Eagle Harbor Lighthouse and Gull Rock Lighthouse.
