1948 Map of Lake Medora

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Copper Harbor and the rugged northern tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula define this landscape in the years following World War II. The map reveals a transition from the area's copper-mining legacy to its role as a premier recreational destination, centered around Lake Medora and the elevated views along Brockway Mountain Drive. To the north, the shoreline of Lake Superior features Dans Point and Porters I, while the interior is dominated by steep ridgelines like West Bluff and Rocky Ridge. Local history is anchored at Ft Wilkins State Park, situated between the harbor and Lake Fanny Hooe. The southern portion of the quadrangle descends toward Bete Grise Bay, where the small settlement of Bete Grise sits near the outlet of Lac La Belle, illustrating the isolation and specialized maritime and geological character of this remote Michigan district.
