2014 Map of Muggun Creek

About this map

Lake Superior dominates this coastal survey, where the rugged shoreline of the Keweenaw Peninsula meets the water. The map documents the northernmost reaches of Michigan, tracing the diagonal boundary line between Keweenaw County and Houghton County. Small waterways such as Muggun Creek, Brewery Creek, and Gardeners Creek drain toward the lake, carving through the terrain near the coast. Infrastructure is sparse but intentional, centered on road networks like Lakeshore Drive and Fisherman Road that follow the natural contours of the land. The inclusion of Calumet Waterworks Road points to the utility and development needs of this copper country region, serving as a reminder of the historical industrial importance of the nearby townships even in this more modern cartographic record.
