About this map

Duluth sits at the southwestern tip of Lake Superior, where the city's complex shoreline meets the industrial and maritime infrastructure of the Duluth Harbor Basin. The urban landscape is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, with residential neighborhoods like Woodland and Hunters Park perched on the heights above the water. A dense network of cemeteries, including Tifereth Israel Cem, Polish Cem, and Park Hill Cem, provides a detailed record of the community's diverse heritage.

The harbor area showcases significant engineering landmarks such as the Aerial Lift Bridge and the Minnesota Slip Drawbridge, which manage the flow of traffic between the mainland and Minnesota Point. Higher up, the campuses of The College of Saint Scholastica and the University of Minnesota-Duluth dominate the mid-section of the city. To the east, the terrain is carved by the Lester River and Amity Creek, marking the edge of the more developed city center near Lester Park.
