2019 Map of Rockhouse Point

About this map

Lake Superior dominates the western half of this shoreline survey, where the waters of Misery Bay meet the rocky coastline of the Upper Peninsula. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of the Elm River, S Br Elm River, and Little Elm River, which cut through the terrain toward the lake. Small coastal clearings and seasonal developments like Santa Monica Beach and Agate Beach appear along the waterfront, connected by a network of local roads such as Wolfcreek Acres Rd and Agate Beach Rd. The boundary between Ontonagon and Houghton Counties bisects the area vertically, marking a quiet transition between these timber-rich regions of Northern Michigan. The presence of Rockhouse Point provides a prominent landmark for navigating this stretch of the Keweenaw Peninsula’s western shore.
