About this map

Mt Arvon dominates the southern landscape of this Baraga County quadrangle, where the terrain rises sharply from the shores of Huron Bay. The settlement of Skanee sits at the northern edge, serving as a gateway to a network of logging roads and historic pathways like the Huron Bay-Peshekee Grade. This 2019 survey documents a landscape defined by its river systems, including the Ravine River and Slate River, which features dramatic drops at Slate Falls and Quartzite Falls.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Old Skanee Cem near Sawmill Rd, a quiet reminder of the area's early residents. The mapping of the Huron Bay-Peshekee Grade follows a significant historic industrial corridor, while various creek systems like Peterson Cr and Fossom Cr illustrate the complex drainage into the lake. From Bendry Point to the interior waters of Roland Lake, the map provides a comprehensive view of this Upper Peninsula shoreline and its rugged hinterland.
