1946 Map of Phoenix

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Lake Superior dominates the northern horizon of this Keweenaw Peninsula survey, where the rocky coastline meets the intricate drainage of the Eagle River. The settlement of Eagle River serves as a focal point on the shore, while the inland community of Phoenix marks the convergence of the West Branch Eagle River and East Branch Eagle River. The landscape is a transition from the coastal Sand Dunes and Great Sand Bay to the interior highlands, where the Old Railroad Grade provides a clear signature of the region's industrial past. Genealogists will find the Eagle River Cem and Hillside Cem clearly marked. The topography reveals a rugged terrain of ridges like the Sand Hills and remote points such as Fivemile Point, illustrating the challenging geography of Michigan's copper country before modern expansion.
