1955 Map of Republic
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
The iron mining industry dominates this mid-century landscape of Marquette County, centered on the operations of the Republic Mine and Humboldt Mine. These industrial hubs are connected by an intricate web of railroads, including the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific and the Lake Superior and Ishpeming, which carried ore across the rugged Upper Peninsula terrain. Small company settlements like Greenwood and Humboldt sit alongside these rail lines, with the Humboldt Cem and the already noted Black River Sch (Abandoned) reflecting the lifecycle of these remote communities.
