About this map

Mining operations dominate this mid-century landscape along the Iron River, where extraction sites like the Forbes Mine, James Mine, and Spies Mine define the local economy. The industrial footprint is extensive, featuring specialized worker settlements such as Virgil Location and Hiawatha Location, alongside the established municipalities of Iron River and Stambaugh. The Chicago and Northwestern railroad network weaves through these mining districts, providing the critical transport links for the region's mineral wealth.
