1952 Map of Palmer
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
Iron ore extraction dominates the landscape of Marquette County in this early 1950s survey, where industrial workings intersect with the natural topography of the Kona Hills and Wewe Hills. The city of Negaunee serves as a northern anchor, characterized by extensive mining infrastructure including the Athens Mine, Tracy Mine, and a large Mine Dump. To the south, the settlement of Palmer is surrounded by several operations such as the New Volunteer Mine and the Old Richmond Mine, illustrating the high concentration of mineral wealth being tapped during this era of post-war industrial demand.
