1943 Map of Upson

About this map

Iron County's northern forests and mining district are captured here in the early 1940s, a landscape defined by the convergence of heavy industry and timber harvesting. Settled nodes like Iron Belt and Montreal reflect the region's mineral heritage, while specialized worker outposts such as Melver Camp, Kerstein Camp, and La Clair Camp are situated deep in the timberlands along the Lumber Railroad. The terrain is deeply hydrological, with the Montreal River and Potato River draining a complex system of marshes and lakes, including Weber Lake and Island Lake.
