About this map

Lake Superior borders the northern edge of this Keweenaw County map, where the coastal environment transitions from the Eagle River Shoals to the expansive Great Sand Bay. Inland, the Cliff Range dominates the southern landscape, a geological formation historically tied to the region's copper mining legacy. The settlement of Phoenix sits at a junction of the Keweenaw State Trail, indicating the modern reuse of historic transportation corridors.

Genealogists will find significant detail in the presence of the Eagle River Cem and the Cliff Cem, both serving the surrounding communities of Eagle River and Eagle Nest. Waterways like Silver Cr and the W Br Eagle River descend from the highlands toward the coast, with Eagle River Falls marking a sharp change in elevation near the shore. The network of local routes, including Garden City Rd and Phoenix Farms Rd, reflects the area's transition from an industrial mining hub to a region defined by recreational trails and coastal preservation.
