About this map

Fort Wilkins State Historic Park and the adjacent settlement of Copper Harbor anchor this northernmost reach of the Keweenaw Peninsula. The landscape is defined by the narrow strip of land between the Lake Superior shoreline and inland waters like Lake Fanny Hooe and Lily Lake. Evidence of the region's industrial past is visible in the network of legacy roads such as Clark Mine Rd, Manganese Rd, and Power House Rd, which cut through the dense terrain toward the East Bluff.

Coastal features such as Horseshoe Harbor, Keystone Bay, and Fish Cove emphasize the importance of the maritime environment, while the Montreal River and Copper Creek drain the interior. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Fort Wilkins State Park Cem near the historic military site, while modern recreation is represented by the Keweenaw State Trl and various lookout paths like the Manitou Lookout Rd.
