2023 Map of Grand Portal Point

About this map

Pictured Rocks dominates this stretch of the Lake Superior shoreline, where the land meets the water in a series of dramatic geographic formations. The northern edge of the Upper Peninsula is defined here by landmarks like Grand Portal Point and Lovers Leap, alongside the inland reaches of the Beaver Basin Wilderness. The landscape is etched by water moving toward the Great Lake, with the Mosquito River and Chapel Creek feeding into the basin. Significant vertical relief is marked by Spray Falls, Chapel Falls, and Mosquito Falls, which serve as focal points for the North Country National Scenic Trl as it follows the coastal contours. This modern survey illustrates the intersection of federal protected lands, including the Hiawatha National Forest, and the preserved shoreline accessible via Chapel Rd.
