1954 Map of Superior

About this map

Superior sits at a critical junction of lake commerce and rail infrastructure during this mid-century period. The industrial landscape is defined by the massive Ore Docks lining the Superior Harbor Basin and the extensive tracks of the Burlington Northern and Chicago and North Western railroads. Urban development is densely concentrated in the East End and near Central Park, where numerous educational institutions like Wisconsin State College and the Vocational Sch serve the growing population.
