2014 Map of South Range

About this map

South Range and a string of historic mining settlements follow the elevated terrain of the Copper Country's volcanic ridges in this 2014 survey. The map documents the industrial legacy and closely spaced communities that once thrived on the Keweenaw Peninsula's mineral wealth, including Atlantic Mine, Trimountain, and Painesdale. To the north, the landscape transitions into a network of small water bodies and creeks like Obenhoff Lake and Salmon Trout River, which flow through the forested lowlands toward Lake Superior. Local history is preserved in the location of the Atlantic Mine Cem and the Mtn View Cem near Mill Mine Junction. The survey details a dense grid of residential streets in Baltic and Champion Mine, connected by State Hwy 26, providing a clear record of the area's development and its enduring relationship with the rugged topography of Tolonen Hill.
