1949 Map of Rockland

About this map

Rockland and the surrounding mining and timber country of Ontonagon County appear here just after the war, defined by a landscape of steep bluffs and river valleys. The Ontonagon River dominates the western topography, featuring the Victoria Dam Spillway and the settlement of Victoria. Local industry is evident through the presence of a shaft and gravel pit near the northern heights of South Bluff, while the southern portion of the map transitions into a grid of cleared land and small farming communities.
