This is a 1905 Richard M. Edwards map of the copper range of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The map depicts the region from Elm River Township to Manitou Island and from Lake Superior to L'Anse Bay. Created to illustrate the mining claims throughout the Keweenaw Peninsula, eight different colors are used to differentiate between the claims of eight different mining companies. One such mining company, Winthrop and Hulbert, has been added in manuscript. Unfortunately, we have been unable to trace any history on this particular company. Others noted here, such as the Calumet and Hecla Mining Company, mined the Kearsage Lode, a deposit of amygdaloid copper that was mined by various companies from 1882 until 1925. A longitudinal section of the mines on the Kearsage Lode is situated on the upper left, just below an insert of a geological section of the copper range at Calumet. (more details)
