2014 Map of Oskar

About this map

The northern reaches of the Keweenaw Peninsula meet Lake Superior in this study of the coastal landscape northwest of Houghton. Small, rural settlements like Oskar and Liminga are connected by a network of local roads such as Liminga Rd and N Superior Rd, reflecting the area's history of agricultural and homesteading activity. Along the eastern edge, the Keweenaw Waterway serves as a critical maritime corridor, separating the mainland from Harrington Island and providing access to the industrial centers of Hancock and the county seat. Inland, the terrain is shaped by numerous small watercourses including Schlot Cr and Keranen Cr, while local landmarks like High Point and Tear Lake provide distinctive points of reference. The presence of the Oskar Cem and Redridge Cem offers vital data points for genealogists tracing family roots in this corner of the Copper Country.
