1895 Map of Ned Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1925

About this map

Glacial lakes and river systems dominate this late 19th-century landscape on the border of Baraga and Iron Counties. Compiled by Van H. Manning under the direction of C.R. Van Hise, the map reveals a wilderness transition where the Chicago Milwaukee and St Paul RR Superior Div cuts through the southwestern corner, providing a vital industrial link to the logging and mining interests of the Upper Peninsula. The watershed is defined by the Net River and its West Branch, which drain a complex network of water bodies including Ned Lake, Shank Lake, and Deer Lake. Political and township divisions such as Hematite, Crystal Falls, and L'Anse are clearly delineated, reflecting the administrative organization of this resource-rich territory during a period of significant regional development.
