1954 Map of Keweenaw Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The industrial and maritime character of the Keweenaw Peninsula is evident in this mid-century survey of the waters where L'Anse Bay meets Keweenaw Bay. Centers of community life are clustered along the shoreline, from the larger hubs of Baraga and L'Anse to smaller settlements like Zeba, Assinins, and the mill-town history implied at Pequaming. The landscape shows a region in transition, where the Duluth South Shore and Atlantic railroad corridor competes with an emerging network of roads, and the legacy of earlier logging and shipping eras is visible in the network of an Old Railroad Grade and numerous small landings.
