1954 Map of Pelkie

About this map

Limestone Mountain rises as a prominent landmark in this mid-century view of the Copper Country interior, where the Otter River and Sturgeon River converge. The landscape is a mix of agricultural clearings and dense woodlands across the Baraga State Forest and Ottawa National Forest. Small farming communities and Finnish settlements like Pelkie, Tapiola, and Elo are centers of local life, each marked by its own schools, churches like Elo Ch, and family-named cemeteries such as Kargi Cem and Askel Cem.
