About this map

Copper mining operations and railroad networks define this landscape on the Keweenaw Peninsula during the late 1930s. The settlement of Mohawk serves as a primary hub, situated near the Gratiot Mine and the waters of Seneca Lake. The industrial footprint of the era is clearly visible through the branching lines of the Keweenaw Central Railroad and the Copper Range Railroad, which facilitated the movement of ore through the townships of Allouez and Calumet.

Smaller outposts like Seneca, Fulton, and Hebards are connected by a mix of infrastructure, including State Highway No 26 and U S Highway No 41. Beyond the industrial centers, the map documents a complex drainage system including the Gratiot River, Traprock River, and Fulton Creek, as well as numerous interior water bodies such as Thayer Lake and Deerwater Lake. The survey also marks the historical location of Cliff, positioned near the West Branch Eagle River at the northern edge of the quadrangle.
