2013 Map of Silver Bay

About this map

Silver Bay and its connection to the industrial landscape of the North Shore are clearly visible in this survey of the Lake Superior coast. The town sits between the water and the rising height of Mariner Mountain, shaped by its residential streets like Edison Blvd and Banks Blvd. To the northwest, the large Milepost Seven Tailings Ponds indicate the scale of the region's mining operations, contrasting with the wilderness preserved in the Superior National Forest and Tetagouche Lake Campground. The rugged topography is defined by the descent of the Beaver River and E Br Beaver River toward the lake, featuring drops at Glenn Avon Falls and Beaver River Falls. Small clusters of development at Lax Lake and the older coastal site of Beaver Bay show the varied layers of North Shore settlement near Wieland Island and Pellet Island.
