2011 Map of Ahmeek

About this map

Ahmeek and Copper City anchor this portion of the Keweenaw Peninsula, revealing a landscape shaped by the historic copper mining industry and residential clusters that formed around the shafts. The grid-like patterns of Centennial Heights and Wolverine reflect the organized company towns of the era, while the density of named locales like Bumbletown, Phillipsville, and Kearsarge illustrates the once-bustling nature of this northern Michigan mining district. To the west, the shoreline of Lake Superior meets Sevenmile Point, while inland drainage systems such as Gratiot River and Slaughterhouse Creek carve through the terrain.
