About this map

Grand Portage sits along the cold northern shoreline of Lake Superior, where the land rises sharply toward peaks like Mount Josephine and Mount Rose. This area, deeply connected to maritime and transit history, serves as a gateway to the water with the Grand Portage - Isle Royale Ferry route extending east past Grand Portage Island. The map details a landscape where traditional sites like the Pagan Cem exist alongside modern infrastructure such as the Grand Portage Marina Ramp.

Smaller settlements and coastal landmarks including Red Rock and Hollow Rock are linked by MN-61, which snakes through the varied topography. Inland, quiet water bodies like Teal Lake, Dutchman Lake, and Cuffs Lake are tucked into the high ground. The network of local roads, such as Mineral Center Rd and Poplar Creek Rd, provides a clear view of the inland access points surrounding this historic portage site.
