2014 Map of Beacon Hill

About this map

Lake Superior dominates the northern reaches of this coastal landscape, where the rugged shoreline of the Keweenaw Peninsula meets the cold waters of the great lake. Along the high bluffs, the settlements of Beacon Hill and Freda sit as enduring markers of the region's industrial heritage, connected by local routes such as Freda Rd and the Freda Cross Cut. Further east, Redridge is positioned near the mouth of the Salmon Trout River, which carves through the terrain as it descends toward the coast. The road network, including Superior View Rd and Messner Rd, reflects the topographical challenges of this elevation-heavy shoreline, while the inclusion of the Boy Scout Cp suggests the area's continued use for recreation and community organization within Houghton County.
