Lake Superior
The village of Ontonagon, on the lake shore, at the mouth of the river of the same name, grew apace and became, for a time, the leading town on the lake. The mines, situated in the interior, fourteen miles up the river, were reached first by the river in flat boats, but as the 18
river was shallow and difficult to navigate, a plank road was built direct to the mints. Rockland and other flourishing villages sprang up near the mines as adjuncts and trading places for the mine people.
