About this map

Marquette serves as the focal point for this Lake Superior coastal region, where industrial infrastructure meets the natural ruggedness of the Upper Peninsula. The shoreline is defined by its maritime and shipping legacy, featuring the Marquette Lighthouse and the Lower Harbor Breakwall Lighthouse, alongside major operations such as the Marquette Dock Company Coal Dock and the Marquette Dock Association. Inland, the terrain rises sharply toward Sugarloaf Mountain and Mount Mesnard, while the Dead River and Carp River carve through the landscape, creating notable features like Dead River Falls and Lower Carp River Falls.

Local history is preserved in several prominent burial grounds, including Holy Cross Cemetery and the Old Catholic Cemetery. The map documents the residential and commercial expansion of the city into neighboring areas like Trowbridge Park and Brookton Corners. Further north, Presque Isle and Middle Island Point offer a view of the region's recreational and geological character, while the Grey Walls Golf Course and Marquette Mountain Ski Area highlight the development of the area's modern land use.
