About this map

The industrial and recreational landscape of the Michigan-Wisconsin border is centered here on the Iron Mountain and Kingsford urban core. This area, long defined by its mineral wealth, shows the legacy of the Chapin Mine sitting near the heart of the city, while the newer civic infrastructure like Ford Airport and the Iron Mountain Post Office mark its 21st-century development. The Menominee River serves as the winding natural boundary between states, punctuated by the Ford Dam Falls and the churning Horse Race Rapids.

Outdoor heritage is prominent through features like the Pine Mountain Ski Jump and the surrounding Pine Mountain Ski Resort, alongside the extensive waters of Lake Antoine and Crystal Lake. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for several large interment sites, including Park Cemetery, Kingsford-Quinnesec Cemetery, and Saint Anthony Cemetery near Niagara. Smaller settlements like Skidmore and Aurora appear at the intersections of this river-and-rail corridor.
