2019 Map of Champion

About this map

Champion and the neighboring settlement of Beacon serve as the primary hubs in this Marquette County landscape, where the iron mining legacy of the Upper Peninsula is written into the street grid. The residential blocks of Champion are structured by streets such as Dalliba St and Graphite St, leading toward the Champion Cem and Sacred Heart Cem. This area is a critical hydrological divide, where the Peshekee River flows toward the expansive Lake Michigamme to the west, while the Middle Br Escanaba River drains the central marshlands. To the north, the terrain becomes a dense network of water bodies, including Dishno Lake, Wolf Lake, and Bush Lake, connected by forest roads like Dishno Rd. Small landings and rail-adjacent points such as Martins Landing and Clowry mark the transition from town life to the wooded wilderness of the northern townships.
