About this map

The port city of Superior sits at the western terminus of Lake Superior, where the Saint Louis River and Nemadji River meet the Great Lakes. This 2010 survey illustrates the complex geography of the harbor, from the industrial stretches of Connors Point to the slender barrier of Minnesota Point. The urban landscape is defined by its diverse neighborhoods and maritime infrastructure, including the East End, Allouez, and the expansive University of Wisconsin-Superior Campus.

Genealogists can locate several significant burial grounds throughout the quadrangle, such as Saint Francis Cemetery, Riverside Cemetery, and the Hebrew Cemetery near the Pokegama River. The map also details the rail and road connections that fueled the regional economy, including the NP Railroad and the Blatnik Bridge, which links the Wisconsin side to Minnesota. Outlying areas like Ambridge, Saunders, and Itasca show the transition from the dense city center toward the more open landscapes of Douglas County.
