1899 Map of Sagola

About this map

The railroad junction at Channing serves as the central hub of this late 19th-century survey, where the Chicago Milwaukee and St. Paul R. R. Superior Division intersects with multiple spurs and branches. This transportation network was critical to the industrial development of the Upper Peninsula, connecting remote settlements like Sagola and Floodwood to the regional economy. To the west, the village of Mansfield sits along the C. & N. W. R. R. Mansfield Branch, surrounded by a landscape of intricate waterways including the Michigamme River and Fence River. The map meticulously details the early boundaries of Crystal Falls, Mansfield, and Mastodon townships. These surveys by C. R. Van Hise and Robert Muldrow illustrate a period of intense transition, as rail lines carved through the timberlands and wetlands surrounding bodies of water like Sawyer Lake and Lake Ellen.
