2010 Map of Amnicon Point

About this map

Lake Superior dominates this northern coastal landscape of Wisconsin's Apostle Islands region, where the shoreline is punctuated by prominent landforms such as Amnicon Point and Steamboat Point. The interior terrain near the lake is characterized by a mix of wetlands and low-lying topography, most notably around Bog Lake. This 2010 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey reflects a sparsely developed residential and coastal area, with a small network of local roads providing access to the water. The naming of School House Rd suggests the historical presence of early local infrastructure, while Chippewa Trl and Lewis Rd provide insight into the local naming conventions and settlement patterns. The map's focus on hydrography and shoreline features makes it an essential document for understanding the maritime-influenced geography of Lake Superior's southern edge.
