About this map

Little Marais sits along the North Shore of Lake Superior, serving as a focal point where the forest meets the water. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape dominated by steep relief and numerous waterways descending toward the lake, including the Manitou River and the Caribou River. The presence of George Manitou State Park and the prominent Sawtooth Mountain underscores the area's geological character, defined by the sawtooth-like ridges characteristic of this region.

Transport is centered on the coastal corridor of MN-61, which follows the shoreline and provides access to local landmarks such as Caribou Falls and Bensen Lake. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the Little Manitou River and Little Marais River, reflecting a territory where natural geography heavily dictates the placement of roads and small coastal settlements at the transition of the Lake Co Cook Co boundary.
