About this map

The Graveraet River flows through the dense timberlands of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula toward the southern shore of Lake Superior. This landscape is defined by its drainage network, where the Salmon Trout River, Deer Cr, and Elm River carve through the glacial terrain of Houghton County. The settlement of Toivola serves as the primary inland hub, situated near the intersection of several local routes that speak to the area’s rural development and agricultural history.

Local history is preserved in landmarks such as the Toivola Cem and the naming of roads like Heikkinen School Rd and Mikkola Rd, which reflect the Finnish-American heritage of the Keweenaw Peninsula’s pioneers. The southeastern corner features a cluster of water bodies including Lake Eva and Lake Weber, while the Bill Nicholls Route traces a historic transportation corridor through the woods. The presence of Graveraet Xing near the lakefront highlights the historical points where early trails met the river.
