    Welcome to Iron County, Michigan Plan your next vacation and getaways to Iron County, Michigan. Discover, explore and enjoy the natural wonders that Iron County offers. Open to all, lush forests and sparkling lakes dominate the land- scape here. Far away from city life that you’ll think you’ve not only crossed a different time zone, but into a different era. Folks are downright friendly and anxious to get to know you. Life is laidback . but not where you can’t enjoy power boating, zip- ping across the lake on your personal watercraft and ATVing the many trails. WELCOME Golfing continues to grow in popularity, whether for a 9- or 18-hole round or with the new pursuit, disc golf. The silent sports are very much in vogue. In addition to road biking and mountain biking, those geared toward fat bikes are pushing the pedals in Iron County. Color- ful kayaks, SUPs and canoes dot the lakes and rivers. And dare we say it -- drones are becoming the next outdoor sport with quadcopters and the like recording the beauty from up above. Camping is big – especially watching the sparks from the campfire mingle with the stars -- but our motels and cabins welcome their share of guests anxious for a comfy bed and maybe a Jacuzzi. There’s more to Iron County than natural beauty. Our restaurants and taverns are pretty special places to visit for a meal and shooting the breeze over a craft beer. Our communities invite all to celebrate with them on special occasions. Summer brings exciting rodeo action when the UP Pro Rodeo pays a visit to Iron River.
  • Geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes

    Geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes

    35133_Geo_Michigan_Cover.qxd 11/13/07 10:26 AM Page 1 “The Geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes” is written to augment any introductory earth science, environmental geology, geologic, or geographic course offering, and is designed to introduce students in Michigan and the Great Lakes to important regional geologic concepts and events. Although Michigan’s geologic past spans the Precambrian through the Holocene, much of the rock record, Pennsylvanian through Pliocene, is miss- ing. Glacial events during the Pleistocene removed these rocks. However, these same glacial events left behind a rich legacy of surficial deposits, various landscape features, lakes, and rivers. Michigan is one of the most scenic states in the nation, providing numerous recre- ational opportunities to inhabitants and visitors alike. Geology of the region has also played an important, and often controlling, role in the pattern of settlement and ongoing economic development of the state. Vital resources such as iron ore, copper, gypsum, salt, oil, and gas have greatly contributed to Michigan’s growth and industrial might. Ample supplies of high-quality water support a vibrant population and strong industrial base throughout the Great Lakes region. These water supplies are now becoming increasingly important in light of modern economic growth and population demands. This text introduces the student to the geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes region. It begins with the Precambrian basement terrains as they relate to plate tectonic events. It describes Paleozoic clastic and carbonate rocks, restricted basin salts, and Niagaran pinnacle reefs. Quaternary glacial events and the development of today’s modern landscapes are also discussed.
