2011 Map of Grand Portage

About this map

Grand Portage sits at the heart of this North Shore landscape, where the land meets the cold waters of Lake Superior. The settlement is defined by its relationship to the lake, serving as a gateway for waterborne transit indicated by the Grand Portage Marina Ramp and the long Grand Portage-Isle Royale ferry route. The terrain rises sharply from the coast toward Mount Josephine and Mount Rose, providing a vertical contrast to the inland waters of Teal Lake, Dutchman Lake, and Cuffs Lake. Local history is anchored by sites such as Pagan Cemetery and the settlement at Red Rock, while the road network, including Old Town Site Rd and Mile Creek Rd, traces the community's development along the bay. This map captures the intersection of traditional routes and modern infrastructure, from the historic Ferry Rd to the protected harbor behind Grand Portage Island.
