2011 Map of Bruneau Creek

About this map

Mount Horace Greeley stands as a prominent landmark in this northern reach of the Keweenaw Peninsula, anchoring a landscape defined by an intricate network of waterways flowing toward Lake Superior. The northeastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the significant waters of Lake Gratiot, which is fed by Elster Creek and drained by the Little Gratiot River. The hydrology of the area is exceptionally dense, featuring numerous parallel and intersecting drainages such as Snake Creek, Bruneau Creek, and the Tobacco River. Human impact is primarily reflected in the road network serving this timbered terrain, with routes like Gratiot Lake Rd and Mohawk Gay Rd providing access to the interior. The map illustrates a transitional wilderness where the high ground of the ridge gives way to the low-lying basins of the Traverse River and Black Creek.
