2011 Map of Portage Entry

About this map

Portage Entry sits at the strategic mouth where the Portage River meets the cold expanse of Lake Superior. This shoreline landscape is defined by the intersection of water and transport, anchored by the Portage Entry Lighthouse which has guided vessel traffic into the waterway for generations. Along the eastern coast of the peninsula, the small settlement of Jacobsville looks out over Keweenaw Bay, while White City and the Rasse Marine Hoist Ramp reflect the local maritime culture. Moving inland, the terrain is traversed by family-named routes such as Lauluma Rd, Ruotsi Rd, and Sutinen Rd, leading to rural centers like Klingville and Arnheim. The map documents a quiet coastal region where the local economy and geography remain deeply tied to the lake and the river systems of Snake River, Jarvi Creek, and Kelsey Creek.
