2011 Map of Skanee North

About this map

Abbaye Peninsula extends into the cold waters of Lake Superior, creating a dramatic coastline defined by Finlander Bay and Huron Bay. In the early 21st century, this area of Baraga County remains characterized by its remote shoreline and small community infrastructure centered on the settlement of Skanee. The landscape is etched with small waterways like Peterson Creek and Gulskoog Creek, which drain into the bays near Lightfoot Bay. Local history and genealogy interests are anchored by the Skanee Post Office and the Skanee Cemetery located off Cemetery Rd. The road network, including Lower Skanee Rd and Peterson Rd, reflects a sparse development pattern dictated by the irregular lakefront. Landmarks like Point Abbaye and Lighthouse Point serve as key navigational markers for this stretch of the Michigan coast.
