About this map

The Copper Country's intricate waterway network is central to this 2014 survey, where Portage Lake meets the Portage River as it flows toward Keweenaw Bay. The map documents the scattered residential and industrial geography along the eastern shore of the Keweenaw Peninsula, including the communities of Dollar Bay, Senter, and Point Mills. The topography is defined by complex shorelines and shoals, such as Lamirande Shoal in Torch Bay, reflecting the region's history of shipping and resource transport.

Local landmarks and genealogy points are scattered across the terrain, notably the Jacobsville Cem near the southern boundary. The presence of features like Old Channel and Stone Quarry Lake highlights the intersection of natural drainage and past industrial footprints. Extensive road networks, including Bootjack Rd and Jacobsville Rd, link these coastal settlements, providing a clear picture of contemporary land use in this specific corner of Houghton County.
