About this map

The Lake Superior coastline at Munising defines this mid-century survey, showcasing a landscape shaped by timber, tourism, and lake navigation. Grand Island dominates the northern waters, protecting Grand Island Harbor and featuring Williams Landing and several Lighthouses. On the mainland, the city limits are clearly marked by the Munising City Boundary, while smaller settlements like Christmas, Indian Town, and Wetmore dot the surrounding forest.

Industrial and transport history is prominent through the networks of the Duluth South Shore and Atlantic and the Manistique and Lake Superior railroads. The topography is famously diverse, ranging from the Pictured Rocks cliffs to a series of interior cataracts including Miners Falls, Wagner Falls, and Munising Falls. Much of the inland area is managed as the Hiawatha National Forest, interspersed with genealogical markers like Maple Grove Cem and the Hanely Landing Field.
