1955 Map of Ned Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Copper Country State Forest dominates this mid-century landscape in the Upper Peninsula, showing a region defined by its timber and mineral potential. The intricate waterways of the Net River and its various branches, including the West Branch and East Branch, create a dense network of drainage flowing toward the Ned Lake area. This 1955 survey captures the industrial remnants and aviation growth of the era, from the established Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific Railroad line to the remote Amasa Landing Field. Local agricultural and residential markers like Triangle Ranch and the small settlement of Old Joe suggest the sparse but persistent human footprint in this wilderness. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade and the Premo Dam point to a legacy of logging and water management that shaped the topography of Hematite and Crystal Falls.
