1956 Map of Matchwood NW

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Norwich Mine and the nearby Norwich Lookout Tower stand as prominent landmarks in this mid-century survey of the Ontonagon area. The landscape is defined by the steep elevation of Carp Lake Ridge and the dense timberlands of the Ottawa National Forest. An Old Railroad Grade cuts across the northern terrain, indicating the era's transition away from early industrial rail dependency in the Upper Peninsula. Drainage patterns are complex, with the Ontonagon River and its West Branch receiving waters from numerous tributaries like Little Cranberry River and Floodwood River. The presence of a Flowing Well and the scenic Cascade Falls further highlight the natural hydrology of this rugged copper country interior.
