1946 Map of South Range

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

South Range and the surrounding Copper Country settlements are captured here in a transition period between their industrial peak and modern revitalization. The landscape is defined by the legacy of the Copper Range Railroad, seen through the Old Railroad Grade and active paths that once served the heavy mining operations at Champion Mine and Globe Mine. Dense settlement clusters at Painesdale and Trimountain reflect the organized company-town planning typical of the Keweenaw Peninsula, while the Mountain View Cem serves as a silent record of the families who settled this upland terrain.
