2014 Map of Ishpeming

About this map

The iron mining legacy of Michigan's Upper Peninsula is etched into this 2014 survey of Ishpeming and neighboring Negaunee. The landscape is dominated by industrial water management and the varied topography of the Marquette Iron Range, featuring landmarks like Pilot Knob and Summit Mtn. Small settlements such as National Mine, Winthrop Junction, and Salisbury are positioned around historic extraction sites and the basins of Lake Angeline and Lake Sally. The town centers of Ishpeming and Negaunee show their dense street grids, reflecting a long history of residential growth tied to the nearby mines. To the south, the terrain becomes more aqueous, defined by Blue Lake, Long Lake, and the winding Middle Branch Escanaba River. This map provides a detailed view of the modern infrastructure and natural water features that have shaped this iconic mining district.
