1952 Map of Palmer
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
Iron mining operations dominate the landscape of the Negaunee and Palmer area in the early 1950s, where complex networks of pits and shafts define the local economy. The northern reaches of the sheet are anchored by the Athens Mine and Tracy Mine, while the central area near Palmer reveals the New Volunteer Mine and both the Old Richmond Mine and New Richmond Mine. This industrial footprint is intertwined with a transport system of the Chicago and North Western and the Duluth South Shore and Atlantic railroads, which hauled ore from these excavations through the Wewe Hills.
