About this map

Marquette and its adjacent harbors on Lake Superior define this 2017 survey, showing the city's complex interface with the Lake Superior shoreline. The map documents the extensive campus of Northern Michigan Univ and the industrial infrastructure of the Lake Superior & Ishpeming RR, which remains a vital link to the region's mining heritage. To the north, the protected peninsula of Presque Isle stands near Partridge Bay, while residential expansion is evident in Trowbridge Park and Brookton Corners.

The landscape transitions quickly from the urban grid to the high elevations of the Huron Mountains, marked by Sugarloaf Mtn and Hogback Mtn. Significant burial grounds, including Holy Cross Cem and the Old Catholic Cem, provide touchpoints for local genealogy. The interior is crisscrossed by an extensive network of recreation paths like the N Country National Scenic Trail and DNR Harlow Lake Trails, navigating the rugged drainages of the Dead River and Carp River.
