2022 Map of Amnicon Point

About this map

Madeline Island anchors this coastal survey, where the northeastern shoreline meets the cold waters of Lake Superior. The landscape is defined by the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, protecting notable maritime features such as the rocky Steamboat Point and the intriguing inlet of Devils Cauldron. A sparse network of local roads and paths, including Chippewa Trl and School House Rd, provides access to the interior of the island, which is characterized by a mix of wooded terrain and wetlands near Amnicon Bay. The map also captures the western tip of Michigan Island to the east, illustrating the isolated character of these island landforms within the largest of the Great Lakes. The survey provides a clear view of the island's geography before further modern development, highlighting the relationship between the rugged peninsula at Amnicon Point and the surrounding archipelago.
