About this map

Ontonagon and the Copper Country of the Upper Peninsula appear during a period of industrial transition, where the White Pine Mine stands as a primary center of activity. The map illustrates a landscape defined by its timber and mineral resources, characterized by the sprawling Ottawa National Forest and the Porcupine Mountains State Park along the shores of Lake Superior. A complex network of railroads, including the Milwaukee Road, Soo Line, and the Duluth South Shore and Atlantic, connects remote settlements like Bruce Crossing and Trout Creek to the industrial ports of Keweenaw Bay.
