1946 Map of South Range
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
Mining operations and company towns dominate the Copper Country landscape in this post-war record of Houghton County. The Copper Range railroad network threads together industrial hubs like Atlantic Mine, Painesdale, and Trimountain, revealing the infrastructure of the Keweenaw Peninsula's mineral economy. Beyond the clustered settlements of South Range and Baltic, the terrain is defined by rugged topography and a series of water bodies including Lake Perrault and Elevenmile Lake. The presence of the Globe Mine and Champion Mine alongside landmarks such as the Trimountain Fire Tower and Mountain View Cem provides a detailed look at the interface between the region’s intensive industrial legacy and its natural environment, from the Salmon Trout River to the drainage of the Little Otter River.
