1955 Map of Witch Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Michigamme State Forest dominates this mid-century landscape on the border of Iron and Marquette counties. The area is defined by a dense concentration of glacial lakes and wetlands, where small settlements like Witch Lake and Witbeck serve as quiet outposts along the rail lines. Industrial and transport infrastructure is represented by the Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific and the Chicago and North Western railroads, which cut through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. These rails supported the regional economy of the Iron Range, connecting remote timber and mining operations to broader markets. Collectors will find a wilderness transition zone where family-named water bodies such as Simons Lake and Wahlstrom Lake sit alongside logging-era landmarks like Camp Fifteen Lake.
