About this map

Delaware and Mandan sit as focal points in this interior stretch of the Keweenaw Peninsula, where the legacy of copper country is etched into the landscape. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation shifts, rising from the cold shores of Lake Superior at Agate Harbor and North Bay to the high points of Mt Lookout and Gratiot Mtn. The Keweenaw State Trail follows an east-west corridor through the center of the sheet, tracing a path near the Montreal River that once connected these remote mining-era settlements.

Water plays a central role in the geography, from the interior basins of Lac La Belle and Lake Bailey to the Cascades at Silver River Falls and Haven Falls. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the steep slopes of Mt Bohemia, a prominent landmark overlooking the waters of Lac La Belle. Local travel is facilitated by a network of winding roads like Brockway Mountain Dr and Lac La Belle Rd, which navigate the complex ridges and valley floors.
