2011 Map of Skanee South

About this map

Mount Arvon, the highest point in Michigan, overlooks the dense drainage basins of the Slate River and Ravine River as they flow north toward the shores of Lake Superior. This area of Baraga County is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, marked by numerous cascades including Slide Falls, Quartzite Falls, and Block Slate Falls along the river corridors. The settlement of Skanee sits near the coast at Huron Bay, serving as a focal point for a network of local routes like Skanee Rd and Bayview Rd. Inland, the landscape is heavily influenced by timber and resource management, with many pathways labeled as Logging Rd and Sawmill. For researchers, the Old Skanee Cemetery remains a significant genealogical site, while the Arvon Lookout Tower highlights the historical importance of forest fire surveillance in this heavily wooded region south of Bendry Point.
