1947 Map of Phoenix

About this map

Eagle River sits on the northern edge of the Keweenaw Peninsula, where the Eagle River mouth meets the cold waters of Lake Superior. Surveyed in the late 1940s, this area reflects the transition from an intensive mining era to a landscape of coastal navigation and small settlements. The community of Phoenix marks a southern anchor near the Cliff Range, connected to the coast by an Old Railroad Grade that once hauled copper ore through the Houghton and Allouez townships. The topography is defined by sharp elevation shifts and coastal features like the Sand Dunes at Great Sand Bay and the prominent Fivemile Point. Significant local landmarks include the Coast Guard Sta and the Eagle River Cem, alongside smaller landmarks like Eagles Nest and the Hillside Cem.
