2011 Map of Rockhouse Point

About this map

Lake Superior defines the western edge of this coastal survey, where the shoreline transitions from the namesake Rockhouse Point down to the recreational stretches of Agate Beach and Santa Monica Beach. The interior landscape is shaped by the drainage systems of the Elm River, South Branch Elm River, and Little Elm River, which meander toward Misery Bay. This era of the Keweenaw Peninsula is marked by a network of rural access routes and local roads, such as Misery Bay Rd and Old Rink Rd, serving the small coastal clearings and seasonal destinations along the water. The map provides a precise look at the hydrology and terrain of this Lake Superior frontage before further modern development, preserving the layout of these northern Michigan shorelines and their connecting backcountry trails.
