2011 Map of Brimley

About this map

The southern shoreline of Lake Superior dominates this portion of the Upper Peninsula, where the complex hydrology of Waiska Bay and Back Bay meets the mainland. Cultural and tribal history is anchored by the Old Mission Indian Cemetery and the settlement of Mission, situated near Point Iroquois Shoals. Further south, the community of Brimley serves as a local hub, featuring the Brimley Post Office and proximity to the Bayview Cemetery. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of the Waiska River and its various tributaries, including the East Branch Waiska River and Little Waiska Creek. Small landings such as Gordons Landing Ramp and Chippewa Landing Ramp indicate the area's continued orientation toward the water, while interior locations like Dorgans Crossing mark the transition toward the timbered lowlands and creek drainages that feed into the Great Lakes system.
