1952 Map of Palmer

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Mining operations dominate this Marquette County landscape during the early 1950s, centered on the concentrated settlements of Negaunee and Palmer. The iron-rich terrain is heavily marked by extraction sites like the Athens Mine, Tracy Mine, and the New Volunteer Mine near Palmer Lake. This survey illustrates the industrial footprint of the era, where massive Mine Dump features and both the Old Richmond Mine and New Richmond Mine are connected by a web of transport lines, including the Chicago and North Western and South Shore and Atlantic railroads.
