1955 Map of Norway
USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
The Sturgeon River State Forest dominates this mid-century landscape of northern Michigan, where the industrial legacy of the Menominee Range is evident in the numerous iron operations flanking the Chicago and North Western railway. Centered on the town of Norway, the map documents a transition period for the local economy, noting several sites like the Groveland Mine and the Aragon Mine as inactive. This spatial arrangement reveals how early 20th-century settlements like Vulcan and Quinnesec were physically shaped by their proximity to mineral wealth and the rail lines required to transport it.
