1956 Map of Michigamme

About this map

Lake Michigamme dominates this mid-century landscape of the Upper Peninsula, where the rugged terrain is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and dense woodlands. The village of Michigamme sits on the northwestern shore, serving as a focal point for local life and transportation. This area is bisected by the Duluth South Shore and Atlantic railroad, which runs parallel to the shoreline, underscoring the era's reliance on rail for moving timber and minerals through the northern woods.
