2014 Map of Vermilion

About this map

Vermilion Point extends into the cold waters of Lake Superior in this remote section of the Upper Peninsula. The landscape is defined by a thin strip of coastal terrain along the northern edge of Chippewa County, where the settlement of Vermilion sits at the junction of N Vermillion Rd and W Brenaman Rd. This 2014 survey documents the hydrography of the shoreline, featuring small inland bodies such as Weatherhogs Lake, Twomile Lake, and Browns Lake. The western edge of the map identifies the boundary line between Luce Co and Chippewa Co. A network of unpaved forest routes, including W Pond Rd and W Browns Lake Rd, provides access through the marshy lowlands and across Browns Cr, illustrating the isolation of this Lake Superior frontage.
