As an unincorporated community, Pine Stump Junction has no legally defined boundaries or population statistics of its own. Description. The community is centered along County Road 407 about halfway between Deer Park to the north and the village of Newberry to the south. Pine Stump Junction is located at the junction of former logging roads in the area, one running approximately from Grand Marais in Alger County east to Paradise in Chippewa County , with many logging camps along the way. This logging trail was intersected by a north-south road from Newberry to Deer Park, approximately to the north on Lake Superior. The junction was marked by a huge pine stump with a big iron mailbox attached. Mail was brought from Newberry and left in the box to be picked up by someone from the camps along the Grand Marais-Paradise road. The place was named on county maps as early as the 1860s.
