About this map

Grand Marais serves as the focal point of this coastal landscape, situated along the southern shores of Lake Superior. The town's maritime heritage is evident in the protected waters of the Harbor of Refuge, which is partitioned into West Bay and East Bay by Lonesome Point. Local history and genealogy are preserved at the Holy Rosary Catholic Cem and Rose Hill Cem, both located just south of the main settlement.

The geography transitions from the harbor's edge toward the eastern boundaries of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. The interior is defined by a network of waterways including the Sucker River and Grand Marais Creek, which feeds into Grand Marais Lake. Hikers and outdoor enthusiasts can trace the North Country National Scenic Trail as it winds along the coastline, passing through the dunes and wooded areas near Chipmunk Falls and Lost Island.
