2019 Map of Grand Marais

About this map

Grand Marais sits at the edge of Lake Superior, serving as a protected entry point along this stretch of the Michigan coast. The town is anchored by its sheltered Harbor of Refuge, which is divided into West Bay and East Bay by Lonesome Point and the narrow strip of Lost Island. This 2019 survey documents the interface between the established settlement and the federally protected Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, where the N Country National Scenic Trail winds through the coastal forests. To the east, the Sucker River and Grand Marais Creek flow toward the Great Lake, creating a complex drainage system that includes Grand Marais Lake. Local history is preserved at sites like Rose Hill Cem and the Holy Rosary Catholic Cem, while the uniquely named Bird Grave landmark stands near the shore of the East Bay.
