1946 Map of Iron River
USGS Topo · Published 1946About this map
Iron ore mining operations define the landscape of the upper Menominee Range just after World War II, where deep-shaft mines and company-built residential clusters sit alongside established municipalities. The industrial corridor follows the Chicago and Northwestern railroad and the Iron River, connecting the town of Iron River with Stambaugh and Caspian. A distinct pattern of "locations"—company-owned worker housing areas—is evident in settlements like Forbes Location, Homer Location, Hiawatha Location, and Virgil Location, each situated adjacent to their namesake operations like the Forbes Mine or the Homer Mine.
