About this map

The northern reaches of the Keweenaw Peninsula are characterized here by a rugged shoreline along Lake Superior, where Agate Harbor and Grand Marais Harbor cut into the rocky coast. The settlement of Delaware serves as a central point in this landscape, situated near the headwaters of the Montreal River. This 2011 survey captures the area's transition from historical mining roots to a modern focus on recreation, evidenced by the presence of the Mount Bohemia Ski Area and the Lac La Belle Resort to the south.

Water defines the geography, with the Silver River and its Silver River Falls flowing north toward the big lake, while the Little Gratiot River feeds into Lac La Belle. Local landmarks like Mount Lookout and Gratiot Mountain provide significant relief, overlooking numerous interior water bodies including Lake Bailey and Clear Lake. The road network, including the Delaware Rd and Lac La Belle Rd, connects these remote settlements and waterfront marinas.
