1984 Map of Keweenaw Bay NE

About this map

The Abbaye Peninsula juts into the cold waters of Lake Superior, defining the eastern edge of Keweenaw Bay in this mid-1980s topographic record. The landscape is characterized by the dense timberlands of the Copper Country State Forest, which covers much of the interior terrain. Compiled from 1980 aerial photography, the map captures the rural boundaries of L'Anse and Arvon, showing a coastline largely untouched by heavy development. This provisional edition provides a clear view of the elevation changes along the peninsula's spine, as it slopes toward the shoreline. For researchers of Upper Peninsula geography, it documents the topographical state of this remote shoreline before modern conservation shifts or infrastructure changes altered the access points to the forest and bay.
