1946 Map of Phoenix

About this map

Eagle River sits at the mouth of its namesake waterway, serving as a focal point for this section of the Keweenaw Peninsula during the mid-twentieth century. The landscape is defined by the proximity of Lake Superior and the varied terrain of the Cliff and Sand Hills regions. To the south, the settlement of Phoenix marks a transition into the copper-bearing interior, while the infrastructure of the Keweenaw Central Railroad and an Old Grade reflect the industrial transport history of the Copper Country.
