2017 Map of Beacon Hill

About this map

Lake Superior defines the northern edge of this coastal Houghton County landscape, where the Keweenaw Peninsula meets the water. The settlements of Beacon Hill and Freda sit prominently along the shore, connected by local routes like Superior View Rd. Further east, the community of Redridge is positioned near the lake, marking a region deeply tied to the industrial history of Michigan's Copper Country. The terrain rising from the coast is charted through contemporary roads such as Beacon Hill-Toivola Rd and Messner Rd, reflecting the modern infrastructure overlaying a landscape once dominated by stamp mills and mining operations. This survey provides a clear look at the township's layout, showing the relationship between established lakefront communities and the interior wooded lands in the 21st century.
