About this map

Eagle River and its surrounding Keweenaw County highlands are defined by the rugged shoreline of Lake Superior and the dramatic topography of the Cliff Range. This survey details the landscape near the northern tip of Michigan's Copper Country, where the Eagle River Falls mark the descent of the water toward the Eagle River Shoals. The small settlement of Phoenix sits at a critical junction of Us-41 and M-26, reflecting a pattern of development tied to the area's geological and mining history.

Further inland, the map identifies small locales like Vaughnsville and Eagle Nest, while cultural landmarks such as Eagle River Cem and Hillside Cem provide essential data for genealogists tracking the region's early residents. Drainage systems like Garden City Cr and Silver Cr cut through the steep terrain, illustrating the natural watercourses that shaped the placement of local roads like Garden City Rd.
