1898 Map of Iron River
USGS Topo · Published 1910About this map
The Chicago and North Western R. R. dictates the rhythm of this Upper Peninsula landscape, connecting the clustered settlements of Iron River and Stambaugh to the wider region during a period of heavy industrial growth. This survey captures the terrain as it transitioned into a mining and logging hub, with small outposts like Atkinson and Hazle positioned along the rail lines and watercourses. To the south, the Brule River marks the Michigan Wisconsin border, winding through a glacial topography characterized by numerous large water bodies such as Chicagon Lake and Stanley Lake. The map reveals the intricate network of the Paint River and Net River in the north, which served as vital corridors for the timber industry before the road networks were fully established.
