Talk:Keweenaw Peninsula

message: This article is unconventional in limiting the name "Keweenaw Peninsula" to just the part of the peninsula north of Portage Lake and Portage canal (see the article map).  Ironically, the article then violates its own definition by including Houghton and Chassell on its list of Keweenaw Peninsula towns (where they certainly do belong) and disagrees with the article "Keweenaw Waterway" which states correctly that the waterway "cuts ACROSS the Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigan" (my emphasis).  Even granting the impossibility of exactly deliniating many geographic features, the Keweenaw Peninsula's base can be regarded as extending down to near Ontonagon on the northwest and to Baraga on the southeast.  This makes much more sense: the Keweenaw Peninsula itself is BISECTED by the Keweenaw Waterway, not terminated by it.  The point that this article is attempting to make is already adequately covered in the "Copper Island" article.DJKrause 14:01, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that the only part of this article really restricting the peninsula to north of the portage is the map. I've had issue with the map before (see the talk for the image). Otherwise, everything seems to include the peninsula straight down to Baraga. -- dcclark (talk) 19:24, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

text: See the Copper Island page, the term actually has a real existence (locally). The majority of actual copper mining took place in the Keweenaw, especially at the Quincy Mine (the most profitable copper mine in the Copper Country), Delaware Mine, Isle Royale, Cliff (the first profitable mine), and many others. Feel free to add Painesdale, etc. to the list of towns, they definitely should be included. -- dcclark (talk) 16:25, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

text: There I go, nearly getting it right! Thanks for the correction. I encourage you to add other towns in the Keweenaw and, if you can, edit up the map. I would like to expand the article, but I am already spending more time than I should here, unfortunately. Good luck! -- dcclark (talk) 18:41, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
