About this map

Keweenaw National Historical Park anchors the southern portion of this Keweenaw Peninsula landscape, preserving the heritage of the copper mining era. The map details a dense corridor of settlements including Ahmeek, Allouez, and Centennial Heights, where the grid patterns of company towns are still clearly etched into the terrain. These communities are surrounded by a legacy of resource extraction and local industry, indicated by the network of local roads such as Sedar Hill Rd and Tamarack Waterworks Rd.

Beyond the residential centers, the land slopes toward the rocky shores of Lake Superior at Sevenmile Point. Waterways like the Gratiot River, featuring Dover Falls and Upper Falls, cut through the elevations toward the coast. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial grounds, specifically Ahmeek Cem, Schoolcraft Cem, and Lakeview Cem, which serve as vital markers for families tied to the historic mining districts of Houghton Co and Keweenaw Co.
