2017 Map of Skanee North

About this map

The Abbaye Peninsula extends into the cold waters of Lake Superior, creating a natural divider between Keweenaw Bay and Huron Bay. This northern Michigan landscape is defined by its dramatic shoreline, culminating at Point Abbaye and the smaller Lighthouse Point to the south. The settlement of Skanee serves as the primary hub at the base of the peninsula, where local life has long centered around the water and the timbered interior. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Skanee Cem along Pinery Cemetery Rd, a site reflecting the community's heritage near Lightfoot Bay. The map reveals a network of local routes like Lower Skanee Rd and Liimatainen Rd that navigate the wetlands and creeks, such as Peterson Cr and Gulskoog Cr, which drain into the surrounding bays.
