1952 Map of Ishpeming

About this map

Ishpeming and the surrounding iron-rich highlands of Marquette County appear here during a period of intensive industrial activity in the early 1950s. The landscape is defined by its extraction history, with prominent mine dumps and active sites like the Tilden Mine and National Mine shaping the terrain south of the city. The residential fabric of the area is well-established, including neighborhoods like North Lake, West Ishpeming, and Frenchtown, while institutional landmarks such as the Cleveland Sch and the local Hospital serve the growing population.
