1956 Map of North Ironwood

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Lake Superior dominates the northern horizon of this Upper Peninsula survey, where the rugged terrain of the Ottawa National Forest meets the rocky descent of the Black River. The river's course is punctuated by a series of dramatic landmarks, including Rainbow Falls, Potawatomi Falls, and Great Conglomerate Falls, reflecting the area's transition from high timberland to the lake shore. To the south, the settlement pattern shifts toward small crossroads like Hautala Corner and Auvinen Corner, serving the rural community near North Ironwood. The landscape is tied together by the Duluth South Shore and Atlantic and the Chicago and North Western railroads, which once supported the region's logging and mining industries. Educational and civic hubs like the Roosevelt Sch and the Gogebic County Airport anchor the more developed southern fringe of the quadrangle.
