1895 Map of Ned Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Hematite and Crystal Falls townships define the southern reaches of this landscape, where the Upper Peninsula's water network transitions into a complex of glaciated basins. Surveyed by reconnaissance methods under the direction of C.R. Van Hise, the map illustrates a rugged interior dominated by drainage systems like the Net River and Hem Lock River. The Chicago Milwaukee and St Paul RR (Superior Div) cuts through the southwestern corner, providing a vital industrial link for the iron-bearing lands of this era. Along the Baraga Co. Iron Co. Boundary Line, significant water bodies such as Ned Lake and Shank Lake highlight the remote character of the northern L'Anse territory before extensive modern development altered the wilderness topography.
