About this map

Lake Superior dominates the eastern edge of this coastal landscape, where the urban center of Duluth meets the working waterfront of the Duluth Harbor Basin. The geography is defined by the steep rise from the shore toward residential neighborhoods like Woodland and Hunters Park, bisected by numerous watercourses including Tischer Creek and Chester Creek. The industrial and maritime legacy of the city is evident at Rices Point, home to the Seaway Port Authority of Duluth, and across the complex network of docks and slips near the Aerial Lift Bridge.

Cultural and institutional landmarks are densely concentrated along the shoreline and hillsides. The sprawling campus of the University of Minnesota Duluth Branch sits above the city center, while historic sites like Glensheen and the Fitger's Brewery Complex mark the lakefront. Local heritage is further preserved in a remarkable cluster of cemeteries in the northern reaches, such as Adas Israel Cemetery, Calvary Cemetery, and Forest Hill Cemetery, providing a detailed record of the community's diverse genealogical roots.
