About this map

Mendota L H stands as a primary navigational landmark on this coastal survey of the Keweenaw Peninsula’s southern shore. The map details the vital maritime connection provided by the Mendota Canal, which links the sheltered waters of Lac la Belle to the expanse of Lake Superior. This 1930s compilation, derived from aerial photography and field examination by Glenn S. Smith, captures the shoreline’s intricate geography between Bete Gris Bay and Oliver Bay. The interior of the Grant township area is marked by a prominent Sand Dune and the hook of Pt Isabelle, illustrating the shifting coastal landscape before modern developments. The proximity of the small settlement of Mendota to the lighthouse and canal reflects the era's reliance on these waterways for local transit and commerce in Michigan's Copper Country.
