About this map

Schroeder and the industrial infrastructure of Taconite Harbor anchor this North Shore landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map highlights a coastal community where the drainage of the Temperance River, Cross River, and Two Island River meets the expanse of Lake Superior. These waterways are central to the geography, with smaller tributaries like Stumble Creek and Heartbreak Creek cutting through the inland forest toward the shore.

Local history and recreation are marked by features like the Schroeder Cemetery, the Schroeder Post Office, and Lamb's Campground and Resort. The infrastructure along State Hwy 61 reflects the area's role as a transit corridor and destination, including the Cross River Wayside Rest Area. Offshore, the presence of Bear Island and Gull Island provides a detailed look at the rugged shoreline characteristic of Cook County's southern edge.
