1956 Map of White Pine

About this map

The White Pine Mine dominates the southern landscape of this mid-century survey, its industrial footprint marked by a massive Tailings Pond, a prominent Smoke Stack, and an Above Ground Pipe Line. This period captures the copper mining infrastructure in full operation, supported by the White Pine settlement and the D S S & A railroad line. To the north, the shore of Lake Superior meets the coast at Union Bay and Silver City, where the Iron River and Mineral River flow into the lake.
