1989 Map of Iron River

About this map

The dense forests and iron-rich landscapes of the Upper Peninsula define this late-century survey, centered on the historic mining and timber corridor of the western Iron Range. Industrial footprints remain visible at sites like the Monongahela Mine, while the cluster of settlements including Mineral Hills, Caspian, and Stambaugh shows the concentrated development near the Wisconsin border. Beyond the town centers, the land is dominated by the Ottawa National Forest and Copper Country State Forest, where an extensive network of lakes such as Perch Lake and Net River provided the necessary resources for early logging operations.
