1983 Map of Grand Portal Point

About this map

Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore dominates this coastal survey, where the sandstone cliffs of the Upper Peninsula meet the expansive waters of Lake Superior. The landscape is defined by the hydrologic network of Munising township, featuring numerous dramatic cascades where inland waters drop toward the lake, including Chapel Falls, Spray Falls, and Mosquito Falls. This 1983 edition captures the area's transition into a preserved natural landscape, showcasing a network of pedestrian-only routes such as the Lakeshore Foot Trail. Inland, the terrain is dotted with small basins like Little Chapel Lake and Upper Shoe Lake, situated within the northern boundary of the Hiawatha National Forest. The presence of the Chapel Beach Campground and Mosquito Beach Campground indicates the established recreational infrastructure of the early 1980s, while the prominent Grand Portal Point and Chapel Rock remain as significant shoreline landmarks.
