2023 Map of Aura

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Aura serves as the primary settlement on this northern tip of the Abbay Peninsula, where the landscape transitions from the shores of Lake Superior to the dense river networks of Baraga County. The area is defined by its dramatic hydrology, featuring multiple named cataracts including Slate River Falls, Middle Silver River Falls, and Gomanche Falls. These falls highlight a significant drop in elevation as waters move toward Huron Bay and Sand Bay. Local genealogy is anchored by the Aura Cem and a network of family-named roads such as Haataja, Heltunen Rd, and Waisanen Rd, suggesting a history of tight-knit rural land tracts. The presence of Pikes Peak and Rock Beach Point marks the variety of shoreline terrain, from rocky outcrops to protected coves like Snug Harbor and Echo Harbor.
