Iron Mountain, the county seat, grew from the region’s iron mining heritage that shaped the county’s towns. Kingsford sits just south of Iron Mountain, Norway lies to the southeast, and Quinnesec rests between them. Pine Mountain, one of the world’s largest ski jumps, towers over the area, and the abandoned Millie Mine on Millie Hill hosts one of North America’s largest bat colonies, viewable from a fenced overlook.
