by An early automobile pauses on a dirt road lined with sturdy log buildings, while locals look on from the doorway.
Your note says this was Michigamme Falls — an abandoned mining-town area on the Michigamme River just north of Florence. That fits the border-country feel, where iron mining and logging camps sprang up fast and sometimes vanished just as quickly.
Today, the “Michigamme Falls” name is most often tied to the dam and reservoir on the river in Iron County, where the original falls were heavily altered by hydropower work.
Do you know exactly where these buildings stood — or who owned the car?
