1949 Map of Rockland

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Rockland sits at the northern end of this mid-century Ontonagon County landscape, marking a transition between the elevated terrain of South Bluff and the intricate river systems below. The copper-rich history of the region is quietly evidenced by a Shaft and the Woodlawn Cem near the town site. Further south, the map documents the rural development around Bruce Crossing and Paynesville, where the Duluth South Shore And Atlantic railroad and the Chicago Milwaukee ST Paul And Pacific line provided essential transit for the timber and mining industries.
