2011 Map of Beacon Hill

About this map

Lake Superior dominates the northern reaches of this Houghton County coastal area, where the Keweenaw Peninsula meets the water. Along the rocky shoreline, the settlements of Beacon Hill, Freda, and Redridge represent the enduring footprint of the Copper Country's industrial heritage. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the lake to the elevated terrain of the inland woods. The Salmon Trout River cuts through the eastern portion of the map, flowing toward the lake near the settlement of Redridge. Local transportation is facilitated by roads such as County Hwy S-554 and the descriptive Superior View Rd, while the Freda Cross Cut provides a functional link between these isolated shoreline communities and the interior highlands.
