About this map

Grand Marais serves as a critical maritime anchor along the southern shore of Lake Superior, centered around its protected Harbor of Refuge. This shoreline landscape is defined by the twin basins of West Bay and East Bay, separated by the sandy projection of Lonesome Point. The map details the transition from the lakeside village to the inland hydrology of the Sucker River and Grand Marais Creek, which feed into Grand Marais Lake.

Genealogists and local historians can locate specific community landmarks, including the Grand Marais Post Office and two distinct burial grounds: Rose Hill Cemetery and Holy Rosary Catholic Cemetery. The settlement’s infrastructure is clearly traced along County Hwy-58 and Woodruff St, while the remote eastern reaches are accessible via the Grand Marais Truck Trl. Commercial and recreational interests are represented by the Endress Oil Company and Woodland Park Campgrounds, reflecting the area's dual identity as a working port and a seasonal destination.
