About this map

The settlement of Point Mills and the nearby industrial hamlet of Senter occupy a narrow neck of land between Dollar Bay and Torch Bay. This landscape is defined by its relationship with the water, where the Portage Lake waterway connects toward Lake Superior through the Portage River. Along the eastern shore, the village of Jacobsville sits near the historic Jacobsville Cem, overlooking a coastline shaped by the region's quarrying and maritime history.

Further south, the Sturgeon River and Silver Creek flow into the marshy complex near Princess Point, where the Old Channel remains visible. Inland, the terrain transitions into the dense Bushel Swamp and is marked by numerous small tributaries like Lovell Cr and Lahti Cr. The presence of Stone Quarry Lake near the lakefront alludes to the geological resources that once fueled local industry and construction across the Copper Country.
