USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
Hancock and Houghton anchor this mid-century survey of Michigan’s Copper Country, where the landscape is defined by the legacy of the Keweenaw mining boom. The industrial character of the region is visible through the concentration of company towns and extraction sites like Franklin Mine, Atlantic Mine, and Champion Mine. The Portage Lake Ship Canal bisects the peninsula, serving as a vital maritime artery connecting Lake Superior to the interior waters of Portage Lake.
