About this map

The waters of Lake Superior dominate this maritime survey of the Upper Peninsula, where the open expanse of Keweenaw Bay meets the northernmost reaches of Baraga County. The terrain is centered on the Abbaye Peninsula, a landform characterized by its isolation and its shoreline orientation towards the Great Lakes. The survey shows the boundary between Houghton County and Baraga County stretching across the open water, illustrating the administrative divisions that persist even in these offshore environments.

On the peninsula itself, a network of local roads and property markers like Point-Abbaye Rd, Whiskey Rd, and Waisanen Rd provide a clear view of modern land use and remote shoreline access. Unique local descriptors such as Reeds Pointers and Six Pack Aly offer a glimpse into the vernacular naming conventions of this coastal region, while various sections of the Public Land Survey System, including t52n r31w and t52n r32w, delineate the grid of the interior landscape.
