USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
Torch Lake and its industrial shoreline define this section of Michigan's Copper Country, reflecting a landscape shaped by mineral extraction and transportation. The settlements of Laurium and Calumet stand as major population centers, while the western shore of the lake is marked by significant mining infrastructure like the Quincy Mill. The transit network is dense with history, featuring the Soo Line Railroad and the Hecla and Calumet lines that once moved ore and timber through the region.
