About this map

Rockland and the copper-mining legacy of the Ontonagon district define this landscape, where the confluence of the West Branch and East Branch of the Ontonagon River shaped early industry and settlement. The map highlights the Old Victoria Historical Townsite and Victoria, providing a clear look at the topographic layout of these company settlements near the Victoria Reservoir.

Evidence of the region's extraction history is visible in landmarks like C-Shaft Hill and various Gravel Pits, while the rugged hydrology of the Ottawa National Forest is punctuated by O-Kun-de-Kun Falls on the Baltimore River. This survey documents the transition of the area from an active mining hub into a managed forest and historical destination, preserving the location of the Cem near Rockland and the infrastructure of the Powerplant serving the river system.
