2011 Map of Emerson

About this map

Whitefish Bay and the shoreline of Lake Superior dominate this Upper Peninsula landscape, where the Tahquamenon River winds through low-lying coastal terrain before reaching its outlet. The settlement of Emerson sits near the river's mouth, a location historically tied to the timber and fishing industries of Chippewa County. Just north, the Paradise Post Office serves as a central landmark near local burial grounds including Baptist Cemetery and Our Lady of Victory Cemetery. Inland, the map reveals a network of small water bodies like Preacher Lake and Laurie Lakes, alongside roads with descriptive names such as Saw Dust Pile Rd and Target Range Rd. The presence of the Silver Creek Lodge further south along Hiawatha highway suggests the area's continued role as a gateway for outdoorsmen and travelers exploring the remote stretches of the Tahquamenon region.
