About this map

The L'Anse Indian Reservation occupies the central and northern reaches of this mid-1980s survey, defined by its boundary lines and the dense woodlands of the Copper Country State Forest. The settlement of Herman serves as a local anchor in the west, while the smaller locality of Summit sits further south near the rail line and the headwaters of Tama Creek. This geography reflects a period where the timber and resource extraction industries were established fixtures, indicated by the presence of a Quarry and Gravel Pit amid the high ground.

Water dominates the landscape through an intricate network of streams and glacial lakes. The Silver River and Sturgeon River cut through the terrain, fed by smaller tributaries like Gomanche Creek and Page Creek. Local history is preserved in family-named features such as Dirkman Lakes and Kortio Lake, while high points are marked by a Radio Tower and Microwave Tower, showing the modernization of communication in this Upper Peninsula landscape.
