About this map

The northern coast of the Keweenaw Peninsula meets Lake Superior along this rugged stretch of Michigan's Copper Country. The settlement of Eagle River sits at the mouth of its namesake waterway, where Eagle River Falls marks the transition from the interior highlands to the rocky shoreline. To the south, the village of Phoenix rests at the foot of the Cliff Range, a prominent geological feature synonymous with the region's early mining era.

Evidence of the area's history is visible at the Eagle River Cem and the Cliff Cem, both serving as important landmarks for genealogical research. The landscape is interconnected by a network of modern routes and historic paths, including M 26 following the coast toward Great Sand Bay and the Keweenaw State Trl, which utilizes former rail corridors to traverse the interior forests and valleys of Silver Creek and the West Branch Eagle River.
