About this map

Lake Superior shoreline and the heavily wooded interior of the Keweenaw Peninsula define this mid-century landscape. The small community of Toivola serves as the primary inland settlement, clustered near the Toivola Cem and the Finnish Ch. The map reveals a remote geography shaped by timber and light industrial activity, evidenced by the Old Railroad Grade and scattered Gravel Pits.

Water is the dominant feature of the terrain, with the Graveraet River and its East Branch cutting through the township of Stanton. To the south in Adams, a cluster of small lakes including Lake Weber, Bush Lake, and Koski Lake sit near the local Heikkinen Sch. The road network is sparse, consisting mostly of unimproved dirt paths that follow the contours of the many creek valleys, including Deer Creek and the Salmon Trout River.
