Abstract

Excerpts from the Preface: This report is about opportunities for rural area development in the Northern Great Lakes Region. It originated in Secretary Freeman’s request for an analysis of the potentials for economic development in this extensive forested and lake-studded region. The need for it is accentuated by the tragic disruption of human welfare and community stability through the continuing closedown of deep iron ore mines in part of the region. The objective of this study was to analyze and portray the opportunities for development and multiple use of land and water resources in ways that would be helpful to State and local Rural Areas Development Boards and Committees and other groups in developing plans for improved incomes, employment, community betterment, and more effective resource use. Special attention was to be given to land- and water-based recreation uses that can add to the financial income and employment of people who live in this region.
