2014 Map of Michigamme

About this map

Lake Michigamme dominates the southern landscape of this Upper Peninsula survey, centered on the settlement of Michigamme. The town is situated on the lake's northern shore along Us-41, where local history is anchored at Lakeview Cem near the junction of W Main St and S Brook St. The surrounding terrain is defined by a complex network of waterways, including the Peshekee River and its branches, which feed into numerous smaller basins like Lake Sixteen and Mud Lake. Prominent geographical features within the lake include Presbytery Point, Sundstrum Island, and Ramsay Island. Further north, the landscape becomes increasingly remote, marked by isolated features such as Dee Lundeen Falls and Little White Goat Lake. The map details the transition between Marquette and Baraga counties, with the Peshekee Grade providing a clear trace of the region's industrial and logging transportation history.
