About this map

The southern shores of Keweenaw Bay anchor this 1991 landscape, where the primary settlements of L'Anse and Baraga face each other across L'Anse Bay. To the north, the Abbay e Peninsula extends into Lake Superior, creating the sheltered Huron Bay. The map highlights the region's diverse topography, including the Huron Mountains and the elevation at Mount Arvon, known as Michigan's highest point. Cultural and religious markers such as Presbytery Point and the village of Assinins suggest the area's deep community roots.

Transportation and industry are defined by the Soo Line Railroad and numerous secondary routes connecting smaller outposts like Pequaming, Zeba, and Skanee. Extensive tracts of the Copper Country State Forest and the Ottawa National Forest surround the settled areas, illustrating the vast timber and wilderness character of the Upper Peninsula. Features like the Ohio Mine near Imperial Heights serve as reminders of the area's geological and extractive history.
