1943 Map of Upson

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

Iron Belt and Upson serve as central nodes in this 1940s landscape, where the iron-rich terrain of Iron County meets an extensive network of waterways and early industrial transport. The map reveals a transition from the established settlements along the Sault Ste Marie and Minneapolis Highway to the deep timber and mining camps further south. Genealogy researchers will find significant detail in the placement of Hillside Cem, Greenwood Cem, and Calvary Cem, as well as named residential and industrial outposts like LeClair Camp and Kerstein Camp. The dominance of the Lumber Railroad and the Chicago and Northwestern tracks highlights the era's reliance on rail to move raw materials through the dense forests and across the Potato River. Landmarks like the Upson Fire Tower stand as sentinels over a landscape defined by names like Blueberry Marsh and the Montreal River.
