About this map

Whitefish Bay and the northern shores of the Upper Peninsula define this coastal landscape, where the waters of Lake Superior meet the rugged terrain of Chippewa County. The settlement of Dollar Settlement anchors the western shoreline along Pendills Bay, while the high ground of Mission Hill provides a vantage point over the inland Monocle Lake. This area is marked by its recreational and maritime identity, featuring the Iroquois Mountain Ski Area and the Point Iroquois lighthouse site at the edge of Nadoway Point.

Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy sites through several burial grounds, including Mission Hill Cemetery, Dollar Settlement Cemetery, and Hillcrest Cemetery near the southern settlement of Raco. The inland geography is dominated by a network of forest roads like S Ranger Rd and W Tower Rd, alongside the winding paths of Little Waiska Creek and the branches of North Branch Orrs Creek flowing toward the lake.
