1964 Map of Amnicon Point

About this map

Madeline Island anchors this coastal survey, showcasing the northeastern tip of the largest of the Apostle Islands in Lake Superior. The landscape is defined by the prominent Amnicon Point and the sheltered Amnicon Bay, where the Indian River meets the lake. Topographic details reveal the complex shoreline of La Pointe TWP, including the dramatic Devils Cauldron and Steamboat Point near the island's northern edge. Inland, the map records the presence of Bog Lake and a Gravel Pit, signaling the local geography's utility. A portion of the La Pointe Indian Res Bdy is delineated near the point, providing a record of jurisdictional boundaries as they stood in the mid-1960s. Across the channel, the western tip of Michigan Island appears, illustrating the proximity of these island landforms.
