About this map

The North Shore of Lake Superior meets the jagged rises of the Sawtooth Mountains in this detailed survey of the Cook County coast. The harbor at Grand Marais serves as the focal point, where the urban grid of Broadway Avenue gives way to the lakefront, while smaller settlements like Chippewa City and Croftville line the shore along Minnesota Highway 61. Higher elevations reveal the inland communities of Maple Hill and the recreational geography of the Superior National Forest.

Tracing the complex trail networks provides insight into the region's modern transition to a premier outdoor destination. Extensive routes such as the Superior Hiking Trail and the Gunflint Trails Snowmobile system wind through the timbered landscape, connecting numerous water bodies like Devil Track Lake and Binagami Lake. Local heritage is preserved at the Maple Hill Cem and Chippewa City Cem, marking the early family sites that predated the area's development as a contemporary transit hub centered around the Grand Marais/Cook County Airport.
