2011 Map of Muggun Creek

About this map

Lake Superior dominates this coastal landscape along the Keweenaw Peninsula, where the cold waters of the Great Lakes meet the shoreline of Allouez Township. The map illustrates the specialized infrastructure required for local industry and municipal supply during the early 21st century, most notably the Tamarack Waterworks and Calumet Waterworks. These facilities, situated near the mouths of local drainages like Brewery Creek and Gardeners Creek, speak to the region's historical reliance on the lake for resource extraction and community utility.
