1955 Map of Vulcan

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Industrial extraction and deep woodland define this landscape in the mid-1950s, where the iron mining heritage of the Menominee Range is etched into the terrain. The community of Vulcan and nearby Loretto serve as hubs for the surrounding labor, flanked by the Loretto Mine and Appleton Mine. Large Mine Dumps near Brier Hill signify the scale of subsurface activity that drove the local economy. Heavy rail infrastructure, specifically the Chicago and North Western line, cuts through the river valleys to transport ore out of the region.
