One old 1847 UP Map and one not so old UP Map

How cool is this????
Here is an 1847 Geological map of the Keweenaw to Chocolay. In the detailed photo here, you'll see Marquette named as Worcester (pronounced Wooster). Two years later the name of our city is changed to Marquette, honoring Jesuit missionary Jacques Marquette, who explored this land and further during the 1670's.


This is a completely authentic 164 year old map.













The next map is a 
WWII RESTRICTED AIR MAP L3 LAKE SUPERIOR dated 1943
