2011 Map of South Range

About this map

Atlantic Mine and Champion Mine anchor the copper country landscape in this detailed study of the Keweenaw Peninsula’s industrial backbone. The string of mining settlements—including Trimountain, Baltic, and Painesdale—follows a distinct linear development pattern established during the peak of the local mining era. Beyond the towns, the terrain is shaped by waterways such as Obenhoff Creek and Slates Creek, which flow through the forested uplands toward Twelvemile Lake and Lake Perrault. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the documentation of the Atlantic Mine Cemetery and Mountain View Cemetery, while the placement of the South Range Post Office and Trimountain Tower provides precise landmarks for understanding the early 21st-century footprint of these historic communities.
