2011 Map of Oskar

About this map

The Keweenaw Peninsula's western shore meets Lake Superior in this study of the rural landscape north of Redridge. Small settlements like Oskar and Liminga anchor a network of country roads, including Houghton Canal Rd and N Superior Rd, that trace the high ground above Portage Lake. The geography here is defined by short, fast-running waterways such as Schlot Creek, Keranen Creek, and the Salmon Trout River, which drain the interior toward the Great Lake. Local genealogy is supported by the inclusion of the Oskar Cemetery and Redridge Cemetery, while place names like Little America and Schmidt Corner reflect the localized cultural history of this copper country periphery. Notable coastal landmarks include Mill Point and High Point, alongside the sheltered waters around Harrington Island, providing a clear record of the shoreline's physical profile.
