1956 Map of North Ironwood

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Lake Superior defines the northern edge of this Upper Peninsula landscape, where the rugged descent of the Black River creates a sequence of notable cascades including Potawatomi Falls, Rainbow Falls, and Great Conglomerate Falls. These natural features are preserved within the Black River County Park and the broader reaches of the Ottawa National Forest. The map captures a mid-century transitional period where rural crossroads like Hautala Corner and Auvinen Corner serve as local landmarks alongside emerging infrastructure like the Gogebic County Airport. In the southern portion of the sheet, the industrial and transportation corridor is marked by the Duluth South Shore and Atlantic rail line. This network connects small community hubs such as North Ironwood and Junet, providing a detailed record of settlement patterns and education sites like Roosevelt Sch before the consolidation of many rural school districts.
