1942 Map of Mellen
USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
Mellen serves as the central hub of this 1942 field survey, situated at the confluence of the Bad River and Devils Creek. The landscape is a complex network of glacial lakes and rugged drainages, where the Montreal River and Tyler Forks carve through the northern woods. The influence of the timber and mineral industries is evident in the presence of the Duluth South Shore and Atlantic and the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie railroads, which facilitated transport through the Chequamegon National Forest. Local civic life is documented through scattered rural landmarks like the Coria Sch, Grage Sch, and the already Moore Sch (Abandoned). Natural landmarks such as Copper Falls and the heights of Mt Whittlesey define the area's physical character alongside recreational spots like the Mellen Country Club.
