2023 Map of Alberta

About this map

The Falls River and its numerous cascades, including Middle Falls River Falls, Power House Falls, and Power Dam Falls, define the drainage of this Baraga County landscape. The map centers on the transition from the shores of L'Anse Bay to the inland woods of the Upper Peninsula, where small named settlements like Maki, Mead, and Usimaki dot the terrain. To the south, the community of Alberta stands near the headwaters of Plumbago Creek, while the north is anchored by the L'Anse Township Cem. Genealogists and historians can trace the network of old logging and local roads, such as Old US Hwy 41 and Old Dump Rd, as they wind past landmarks like Little Mountain and the Jackson Lakes. This record captures a region where water power and timber resources shaped the local geography and settlement patterns.
