1952 Map of Ishpeming

Away from the industrial centers, the map documents smaller residential pockets such as Frenchtown, Salisbury, and the settlement at National Mine. Cultural and community landmarks are clearly marked, including the Finnish Ch and the Standard Sch. The southern half of the quadrangle transitions into a water-rich territory defined by the Middle Branch Escanaba River and numerous lakes, such as Lake Gribben and Big Bass Lake, providing a detailed record of the region's geography before later 20th-century developments.
