Since there are three county highpoints in close proximity here (Alger, Luce,
and Schoolcraft), consider visiting all of them while you are in this area.
Approach the area by driving 14.25 miles south from Grand Marais (on Route 77)
to Lavender Corner, or drive north 11 miles from the intersection of Routes 77
and 28. From Lavender Corner, drive east on very sandy roads for about 4.3
miles and watch for a rise on your immediate left. Stay left at the fork in the
road at 2.8 miles. This spot is about 0.5 mile northeast of the Alger County
access site. Park on the curve and head up the hill to visit the western area.
Another 0.1 mile down the road, enter the woods to your right (east) and head
for the high ground. I found the witness post (it’s bent down and hard to spot)
but didn’t see BM 1197. The highpoint is near a fallen tree.
