About this map

Copper Harbor serves as the focal point for this survey of the northernmost reaches of Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula. The settlement is situated between its namesake harbor and Lake Fanny Hooe, a landscape shaped by historical mining and maritime activity. The rugged coastal topography is marked by significant elevations like E Bluff and numerous inland water bodies including Mud Lake and Lily Lake.

South of the shoreline, a network of trails and roads such as Mandan Rd and Clark Mine Rd cut through the interior, leading toward the Montreal River and Copper Lake. This area is rich in small-scale drainage features like Vulcan Cr and Copper Cr, which flow toward the southern coast at Keystone Bay. The inclusion of the Fort Wilkins State Park Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the military and pioneer heritage of the Lake Superior frontier.
