2013 Map of Grand Marais

About this map

Grand Marais serves as the focal point for this North Shore landscape, where the rugged topography of Sawtooth Bluff drops toward the Lake Superior coastline. In the early 21st century, the area shows a transition from the structured township of the village to the expansive reaches of the Superior National Forest. Local history is preserved at several distinct burial sites, including Maple Hill Cem, Chippewa City Cem, and Saint John's Cem, reflecting the area's diverse settlement heritage. Water defines the interior, with the Devil Track River and Little Devil Track River carving through the terrain. The presence of the Grand Marais/Cook County Airport and the Go-Fer Campground highlights the region's importance for both local infrastructure and seasonal tourism, while settlements like Chippewa City and Croftville remain anchored along State Hwy 61.
