About this map

Lake Superior dominates the southeastern quadrant of this Keweenaw Peninsula terrain, where the shoreline is punctuated by Betsy Bay and the prominent Black Rock Point. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrography, with several significant inland water bodies including Lake Gratiot, Lac La Belle, and the namesake Deer Lake. These lakes feed a network of waterways such as the Little Gratiot River and the Big Betsy River, illustrating the natural drainage patterns of this northern Michigan wilderness.

Transportation is limited to a handful of local routes that navigate the dense topography, such as Gay Rd and Gay Lac La Belle Rd. The inclusion of smaller corridors like Betsy Cottage Rd and Hermits Cove Rd suggests a landscape shaped by seasonal access and remote coastal outposts. The map provides a precise look at the township and range divisions across this heavily forested region, tracing the paths of Winters Cr and the Little Betsy River as they move toward the Great Lake.
