About this map

The northern tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula is defined by high ridgelines and the rugged shoreline of Lake Superior in this 1948 field-checked study. The terrain is dominated by the massive presence of Brockway Mountain and Mt Lookout, with Brockway Mountain Drive winding along the crests to provide sweeping views over Agate Harbor and South Bay. This map documents a landscape heavily influenced by geology and early copper mining history, centered around the small settlements of Delaware and Mandan. The water systems here are complex, with the Montreal River and Gratiot River draining the interior uplands toward the Great Lake, while Lac La Belle anchors the southeastern corner. This survey is a snapshot of the region's mid-century character, balancing its mining heritage with its developing reputation as a destination for travelers following the Shore Drive.
