Title: Cities and Towns - Rockland
Photographer: Gagnon of Gazette
Subject Headings: Human Settlements, Transportation - Roads, Sign and Signboards
Condition: Good
Description: Rockland really exudes some of the old atmosphere it possessed 60 years ago when the Michigan Mine, successor to the former Minnesota Mine, was working. There is more quietness today, however, in that the economy comes from Ontonagon and White Pine rather than from within itself as it did when the Michigan and former Minnesota were working. Here, on the approach from National Hill, Rockland appears like a little Wisconsin rural hamlet. Only the water tank is not visible. [Photo taken from the road leading into Rockland.]
