USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
Baraga State Forest dominates this mid-century landscape in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and the industrial footprint of iron mining. The Duluth South Shore and Atlantic railroad cuts through the center of the sheet, providing a vital link for the small settlements of Three Lakes and Imperial Heights. These communities were shaped by their proximity to mineral resources and timber, with the Ohio Mine and several other mine dumps and shafts clustered near the western edge of Lake Michigamme.
