1907 Map of Marquette

About this map

Marquette serves as the industrial and civic anchor of this Lake Superior shoreline, captured here at a time of significant maritime and rail expansion. The city's grid is dense with detail, showing the Cemetery at its western edge and the County House to the south. Further down the coast, the State Prison marks the southern entry to Marquette Bay. The landscape is dominated by the heavy infrastructure of the era, including the Marquette and Southeastern and the Duluth South Shore and Atlantic railroads, which connected the inland mines and forests to the docks at Presque Isle Harbor.
