Munising and its surrounding Upper Peninsula shoreline are defined by the convergence of industrial history and the dramatic geography of Lake Superior. Along the coast, Bay Furnace and the neighboring settlement of Christmas sit west of the city, while the massive profile of Grand Island shelters the Grand Island Harbor Bay. The interior is characterized by the dense woodlands of the Hiawatha National Forest, where the Anna River and its tributaries like Valley Spur Cr carve through the terrain. Genealogists can locate several significant burial sites, including Williams-Powell Cem on the island and Maple Grove Cem near Wetmore. The map also documents the many cascades that punctuate the local drainage system, such as Alger Falls, Tannery Falls, and Wagner Falls south of the main township.
