About this map

Republic and Humboldt anchor this map of Michigan's iron-rich highlands, where the legacy of extraction is visible through the massive Humboldt Mine footprint and the Iron Ore Heritage Trail. The township's history is preserved at the Republic Cem and Humboldt Cem, providing valuable touchstones for genealogists researching the families who settled this part of Marquette County.

A complex network of water defines the terrain, from the southern reach of White Horse Bay on Milwaukee Lake to the headwaters of the W Br Middle Br Escanaba River. The Michigamme River and Black River cut through a landscape dotted with numerous smaller bodies of water like Petcuson Lake, Autio Lake, and Lake Lory. The modern road system, including Co RD 601 and Co HWY FL, follows the established corridors between these two historic mining settlements.
