  • Glimpses of Early Dickinson County
    GLIMPSES OF EARLY DICKINSON COUNTY by William J. Cummings March, 2004 Evolution of Michigan from Northwest Territory to Statehood From 1787 to 1800 the lands now comprising Michigan were a part of the Northwest Territory. From 1800 to 1803 half of what is now the Lower Peninsula of Michigan and all of the Upper Peninsula were part of Indiana Territory. From 1803 to 1805 what is now Michigan was again part of the Northwest Territory which was smaller due to Ohio achieving statehood on March 1, 1803. From 1805 to 1836 Michigan Territory consisted of the Lower Peninsula and a small portion of the eastern Upper Peninsula. In 1836 the lands comprising the remainder of the Upper Peninsula were given to Michigan in exchange for the Toledo Strip. Michigan Territory Map, 1822 This map of Michigan Territory appeared in A Complete Historical, Chronological and Geographical American Atlas published by H.S. Carey and I. Lea in Philadelphia in 1822. Note the lack of detail in the northern Lower Peninsula and the Upper Peninsula which were largely unexplored and inhabited by Native Americans at this time. Wiskonsan and Iowa, 1838 Michigan and Wiskonsan, 1840 EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT! VULCAN – A number of Indians – men, women and children – came into town Wednesday last from Bad Water [sic] for the purpose of selling berries, furs, etc., having with them a lot of regular Indian ponies. They make a novel picture as they go along one after the other, looking more like Indians we read about than those usually seen in civilization, and are always looked upon in wonderment by strangers, though it has long since lost its novelty to the residents here.

  • Technical Report
    TECHNICAL REPORT Surficial Geological Mapping: Iron Mountain 7.5 Minute Quadrangle Dickinson County, Michigan and Florence & Marinette Counties, Wisconsin; STATEMAP Award No. G 16AC00297. Michigan Geological Survey, Western Michigan University PI: Alan E. Kehew, MGS. Co-PI: John A. Yellich Contract Mapper: John M. Esch, MDEQ Cartography/GIS: John Esch September 29, 2017 1 Abstract Surficial geologic mapping of the Iron Mountain 7.5 Minute Quadrangle, located in Dickinson County, Michigan, Florence & Marinette Counties, Wisconsin, was completed by the Michigan Geological Survey. Mapping of the Iron Mountain 7.5 minute quadrangle has provided new, detailed information on surficial landforms and deposits within the Green Bay along the Michigan-Wisconsin Border. The map area is located in complex glacial deposits of the Green Bay Lobe of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. The complexity of the glacial deposits is in part due to high relief on the bedrock surface and complexity of underlying bedrock formations. Three ice-margins were mapped across the quad. A deep bedrock trough mapped as part of an earlier investigation (Arcadis, 2010) was further defined as well as the bedrock topography and drift thickness mapped across the quad. In addition, the mapping identified ice-walled lake plains, eskers, drumlins and terraces that were not previously mapped.

  • DISCOVERY of ORE on the MENOMINEE IRON RANGE by William J
    MENOMINEE RANGE MEMORIES 11: DISCOVERY OF ORE ON THE MENOMINEE IRON RANGE By William J. Cummings, Menominee Range Historical Foundation Historian The Menominee Iron Range spanned about sixty miles, extending from Waucedah, in eastern Dickinson County, through portions of Florence County, Wisconsin, to Iron River, in western Iron County, Michigan. J.F. Hanst’s map appeared in Volume XXI of the Lake Superior Mining Institute Proceedings (1916-1917) and located mines then in operation. The Chicago & Northwestern Railroad branch line traveling northwest from Powers in Menominee County connected the mines with Escanaba, a Lake Michigan iron port in Delta County. Moving from east to west, mining settlements included the following: Dickinson County – Waucedah, Loretto, Vulcan, Norway, Quinnesec, Iron Mountain and the Felch Mountain District; Florence County – Commonwealth and Florence; Iron County – Crystal Falls, Amasa, Iron River and Stambaugh.
