1954 Map of Keweenaw Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Keweenaw Bay and its rugged shoreline define this mid-century portrait of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, where the landscape is marked by its transition from industrial heritage to forest preservation. The map details the coastal settlements of Pequaming, Assinins, and Zeba, reflecting the deep maritime and timber history of the region. Notable landmarks include the Atlantic and Western Railroad Grade, indicating the path of former logging or mineral transport lines that once crisscrossed the Peninsula. Further inland, the presence of the Aura Sch (Abandoned) and the Aura Town Hall in the settlement of Aura offers specific interest for genealogists and local historians tracking family roots in these rural communities. Along the northern edge, Portage Entry and the Portage River serve as vital connections between Torch Lake and the open waters of Lake Superior, showcasing the complex waterways that sustained the local copper-country economy.
