About this map

Lake Superior dominates this portion of the Keweenaw Peninsula's eastern shoreline, where the water meets the rugged coast of Houghton County. The settlement at Rabbit Bay serves as a focal point for the coastal landscape, situated near where Lahti Cr and Rabbit Beach Rd converge. Further out in the open water lies the isolated Traverse Island, a distinct landform marking the entrance to the larger Keweenaw Bay to the south.

Inland, the terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems and small water bodies including Mud Lake and its associated Mud Lake Cr. The road network, featuring names like Keweenaw Pass Rd and Sunrise Dr, reflects the modern residential and recreational character of the area. This 2014 survey documents the persistence of these small coastal drainages, such as Le Chance Cr, as they flow toward the expansive shoreline of the Great Lakes.
