1946 Map of Phoenix

About this map

Lake Superior defines the coastline of this Keweenaw Peninsula map, where the copper country landscape transitions from the waters of Great Sand Bay to the rising elevations of the Houghton Range. The settlement of Phoenix serves as a central hub for the interior, situated near the confluence of the East Branch Eagle River and West Branch Eagle River. Local infrastructure is marked by a legacy of transport and resource extraction, visible in the Railroad Grade winding through the hills and the presence of the Sand Hills L H light station at Fivemile Point. Mapping updates from the mid-1970s illustrate the enduring geography of Allouez township, documenting established landmarks like Eagle River Cem and Hillside Cem alongside the winding course of Garden City Creek.
