2017 Map of Aura

About this map

The Aura settlement and the wooded reaches of the Abbaye Peninsula characterize this coastal landscape on the southern shores of Lake Superior. The area is defined by its dramatic water features, including a series of cascades such as Silver Falls, Middle Silver River Falls, and Gomanche Falls along the Silver River. These falls illustrate the sharp elevation changes as interior drainage systems descend toward the lake. Local genealogy and history are anchored at the Aura Cem, located just south of the main settlement area near Heltunen Rd. The map reveals a network of roads named for local families, including Waisanen Rd, Koski, and Saari, which weave through the terrain toward Huron Bay. To the east, the shoreline is punctuated by sheltered waters like Echo Harbor and Snug Harbor, while Pikes Peak provides a significant inland landmark overlooking the peninsula's southern neck.
