About this map

Portage Lake and Torch Bay dominate this coastal landscape, where the intricate waterways of the Keweenaw Peninsula meet the expanse of Keweenaw Bay. The settlement pattern follows the shoreline, from the industrial character of Dollar Bay in the northwest to the residential clusters of Point Mills and Dreamland. The southern reaches of the map show the transition from the open waters of Lake Superior to the complex riverine system formed by the Sturgeon River and Portage River.

A network of local roads such as Bootjack Rd and Senter Rd connect these waterfront communities. In the southern interior, the Jacobsville Cem and features like Bushel Swamp provide points of interest for local historians and genealogists. The map also captures several smaller drainages, including Lovell Creek and Silver Creek, which cut through the forested terrain and drain into the larger bay system.
