2014 Map of Chassell

About this map

The southern shore of the Keweenaw Waterway defines the northern edge of this area, where the adjacent cities of Hancock and Houghton bridge the channel. Further south, the landscape shifts into the residential and rural clusters of Hurontown, Dodgeville, and Superior, eventually reaching the timber and lakeside community of Chassell on the shores of Pike Bay. The map provides significant detail for local historians, showing the extent of the Keweenaw National Historical Park and the locations of several community burial grounds including Forest Hill Cem and Chassell Township Cem. The Pilgrim River and its various tributaries, such as Denton Cr and the Little Otter River, wind through the central highlands before draining into Portage Lake, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Copper Country's interior.
