1948 Map of Bruneau Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

Mt Horace Greeley dominates the northern reaches of this mid-century survey, looking out over the shoreline where Lake Superior meets the coast at Easter Creek. This portion of the Keweenaw Peninsula is defined by a dense network of waterways that trace through the townships of Houghton, Keweenaw, and Sherman. The drainage patterns suggest a complex landscape of low-lying wetlands and forests, particularly where Bruneau Creek and the Tobacco River converge with smaller tributaries like Snake Creek and Black Creek. While predominantly natural, the map reveals the late 1940s road network, including the path toward Eagle Harbor, indicating how these isolated interior lands were accessed for timber or local transit before modern development.
