1946 Map of Laurium

About this map

Industrial Copper Country infrastructure centers on the shores of Torch Lake in this mid-century survey. The landscape is defined by the heavy presence of the Mineral Range Railroad and the Copper Range Railroad, which connected the massive stamping facilities at Quincy Mill to the mining hubs of Calumet, Osceola, and Laurium. The shoreline settlements of Lake Linden, Hubbell, and Mason reveal a densely packed residential and industrial interface along the waterfront, served by local institutions like the Osceola Sch and Calvary Cem.
