About this map

Mt Horace Greeley stands as the highest point in this section of the Keweenaw Peninsula, overlooking a landscape defined by the expansive Lake Gratiot and an intricate network of waterways. The drainage pattern here is particularly notable, with the Little Gratiot River flowing eastward from the central highlands while the Tobacco River and Traverse River cross the southern wetlands. This terrain reveals the logistical challenges of the Copper Country, where roads like Phoenix Farms Rd and Gratiot Lake Rd follow the natural contours and breaks between the ridges. The presence of numerous small tributaries, such as Nine Thirty Two Cr and Snake Cr, alongside the marshy reaches of Black Cr, highlights the dense, water-heavy environment that early settlers and surveyors encountered as they moved inland from the Lake Superior coast.
