1954 Map of Negaunee SW

About this map

Iron ore mining defines the landscape of the central Upper Peninsula during the mid-1950s, where the industrial footprints of the Morris Mine, Lloyd Mine, and Mather Mine A sit adjacent to the growing residential blocks of Ishpeming and Negaunee. The proximity of deep-shaft operations to civic life is clear near the Cambria-Jackson Mine, with the Lake Superior and Ishpeming and Chicago and North Western railroads providing the critical heavy-haul links between the pits and the Great Lakes ports.
