2011 Map of Eagle Harbor

About this map

Lake Superior dominates the northern horizon of this coastal portion of the Keweenaw Peninsula, where the shoreline is punctuated by sheltered inlets like Eagle Harbor and Cat Harbor. The landscape reveals a transition from the maritime activity at the Eagle Harbor Marina and the iconic Eagle Harbor Lighthouse to the rugged inland terrain shaped by the copper mining legacy of the region. Localities such as Central and Copper Falls anchor the interior, connected by a network of roads including the famous Brockway Mountain Dr and the historic Old US 41. Numerous small lakes and ponds, such as Eliza Lake and Central Lake, feed into a system of creeks like Jacobs Creek and the Montreal River, which creates the expansive Montreal Meadows to the southeast. The placement of Nepco Camp Number 7 suggests the continued industrial or recreational utility of these deep woods in the early 21st century.
