2011 Map of Point Mills

About this map

Senter and Point Mills anchor this coastal landscape in the Keweenaw Peninsula, where the waters of Torch Bay and Portage Lake meet. The geography is defined by a series of points and shoals, such as Grosse Point, Princess Point, and the underwater hazards of Lamirande Shoal. To the south, a complex network of waterways including the Sturgeon River, Snake River, and the Old Channel drain into the Portage River as it reaches towards Lake Superior. This 2011 survey illustrates the modern road network, including Jacobsville Rd and Bootjack Rd, which connect the scattered settlements and local landmarks like the Jacobsville Cemetery. The presence of Stone Quarry Lake and numerous local creeks like Silver Creek and Le Chance Creek highlights the drainage patterns of this lakefront environment, reflecting a community shaped by its proximity to the water and its historical industrial footprints.
