1956 Map of Michigamme
USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
Michigamme sits on the northern shore of its namesake lake, serving as a focal point for the logging and mining operations that defined the central Upper Peninsula in the mid-1950s. The Duluth South Shore and Atlantic railroad cuts through the southern reaches of the quadrangle, passing through Imperial Heights and by the Ohio Mine. This industrial infrastructure contrasts with the vast, undeveloped expanses of the Baraga State Forest and Michigamme State Forest, where numerous remote outposts like Sensenbrenner-Seldon Camp, Ruona Camp, and Snyder Camp illustrate the era's active timber harvesting landscape.
