1954 Map of Negaunee SW

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Industrial iron mining and the dense urban layouts of Ishpeming and Negaunee dominate the southern landscape of this mid-century survey. The proximity of residential neighborhoods to major operations like Mather Mine A and the Cambria-Jackson Mine illustrates the direct connection between the local workforce and the Marquette Iron Range's production. In the northern reaches, the geography shifts toward timber and water management within the Escanaba River State Forest, where the sprawling Dead River Storage Basin provides a massive reservoir for regional power and industry. Transportation is strictly defined by the heavy-duty rail infrastructure of the Chicago and North Western and the Lake Superior and Ishpeming railroads, which weave through the city centers to service the mines and the neighboring waters of Teal Lake and Deer Lake.
