Rock Wall Constructed

The rock wall along the US 41 perimeter of the Keweenaw Mountain Lodge was built circa 1940. These walls are “piered” walls, which are stone walls constructed from cut and fitted fieldstone. They are topped with a “concrete wash”. The walls were probably constructed by Keweenaw County Road Commission employees. They are walls that are also on Brockway Mountain Drive, and similar to those that were constructed at Glacier National Park in Montana. (Source: The Brockway Mountain Drive Story, Paul LaVanaway)
