2023 Map of Brimley

About this map

Mission and the settlement of Bay Mills stand at the southern edge of Waiska Bay in this recent record of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Situated along the international boundary in the Saint Marys River, this landscape is defined by its deep cultural and educational roots, featuring the Bay Mills Community College and the Old Indian Burial Ground. The terrain transitions from the low-lying wetlands of Back Bay to the rising timberlands of the Hiawatha National Forest, where drainage networks like Little Waiska Creek and North Branch Orrs Creek weave through the interior. In Brimley, the concentration of local infrastructure and the presence of the Bayview Cem reflect a community long tied to the waterfront and the surrounding forest, while landmarks such as Birch Point and Round Island Point mark the transition into the open waters of Lake Superior.
