2015 Map of Amnicon Point

About this map

Madeline Island anchors this coastal study of the northern Apostle Islands, where the landscape meets the expansive waters of Lake Superior. The topography is defined by prominent landforms such as Steamboat Point and Amnicon Point, which frame the sheltered waters of Amnicon Bay. Inland, the terrain includes specialized environments like the aptly named Bog Lake and the dramatic inlet of Devils Cauldron. A sparse network of local roads and trails provides access to the shoreline and interior, including School House Rd and Chippewa Trl. The map also captures a portion of Michigan Island to the east, illustrating the isolated nature of these island landmasses within the Apostle Islands archipelago. This 2015 edition reflects the modern management and conservation of this island chain, showing how the land is divided through the Public Land Survey System while maintaining its character.
