About this map

The St Louis Bay region, dominated by the industrial and maritime expansion of Superior, serves as the focal point of this 1914–1915 survey. The landscape is defined by the complex convergence of heavy rail and deep-water transport, featuring the Northern Pacific and Great Northern rail lines that fed the bustling docks at Allouez and the East End. Beyond the urban harbor, the map reveals a dense network of smaller industrial settlements like Steelton, Gary, and Morgen Park, which emerged alongside the developing iron and timber economies.
