1956 Map of North Ironwood

About this map

Lake Superior dominates the northern horizon of this mid-century survey, where the rugged terrain of the Ottawa National Forest meets the industrial and agricultural corridors of the Western Upper Peninsula. The Black River carves a dramatic path toward the lake, punctuated by a series of significant cascades including Rainbow Falls, Sandstone Falls, and Potawatomi Falls. These features reflect a landscape shaped by water and timber, supporting local recreation at Black River County Park.
