1985 Map of Copper Harbor

About this map

Copper Country State Forest covers much of this northern reach of the Keweenaw Peninsula, where the landscape is defined by parallel ridges like Rocky Ridge and West Bluff. The northernmost tip of Michigan comes into focus here, showing the interface between the dense timberland and the shoreline of Lake Superior. Near the sheltered waters of Copper Harbor, the presence of Ft Wilkins State Park and Lake Fanny Hooe points to the area's long-standing transition from a copper mining frontier to a recreational destination. Remote outposts like Bete Grise and the isolated Manitou Island suggest the maritime challenges of the era, while named water bodies such as Lake Manganese and Breakfast Lake reflect the local geography used by generations of woodsmen and mineral seekers.
