About this map

Laporte sits at the heart of this landscape, positioned along the Paul Bunyan State Trail where the northern woods meet an extensive network of lakes and waterways. The community is anchored by local landmarks such as Saint Theodore's Cemetery and the Lakeport Township Cemetery, reflecting a settled history amidst the glacial topography of Hubbard County. To the west, Kabekona Corner provides a smaller focal point near the winding Kabekona River, which feeds into the large expanse of Kabekona Lake to the southeast.

The terrain is defined by its water, from the secluded Little Gulch Lakes and Bass Lakes in the west to the prominent Garfield Lake bordering the town's northeast. The presence of Norway Ridge suggests the elevated pine-covered moraines that characterize this region. This modern survey tracks the sophisticated road system that has replaced early trails, while preserving the location of family-named sites and established burying grounds like Evergreen Cemetery.
