2017 Map of Palmer

About this map

Palmer and the southern edge of Negaunee anchor this landscape in Marquette County, defined by a legacy of iron mining and complex hydrology. The map details an extensive road network tied to industrial activity, including Empire Mine Rd, Tracy Mine Rd, and Rolling Mill Rd, which trace the routes between historic extraction sites. The terrain is marked by the Wewe Hills and Kona Hills, creating a rugged backdrop for a series of dramatic water features. Multiple cascades, including Warner Falls, Schweitzer Falls, and Tiger Falls, occur where streams like Warner Cr and Schweitzer Cr navigate the elevation changes. The presence of Lake Gribben and Goose Lake provides significant water catchments in a region where natural drainage and industrial land use have long been intertwined.
