Houghton Township

Among Michigan’s communities, Houghton Township stands out for its setting in the wooded interior of the Keweenaw Peninsula, a narrow landform extending into Lake Superior. It belongs to Michigan’s Copper Country, where 19th-century copper mining brought national attention and left an enduring mark on settlements across the peninsula. Forest roads and dispersed homes give the township a distinctly rural character, far from the larger cities of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula. Lake Superior strongly shapes the local climate and the identity of this northern region. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of the Keweenaw Peninsula.
