About this map

Lake Superior dominates the northern expanse of this coastal study, where the shoreline is defined by the prominent Au Sable Point. This portion of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore preserves a landscape of coastal wetlands and river mouths, notably where the Hurricane River meets the Great Lake. The terrain is marked by seasonal infrastructure and recreational paths, including a significant stretch of the North Country National Scenic Trl that winds along the bluffs and shoreline.

Inland, the hydrology is shaped by Sullivan Lake and Sullivan Creek, situated south of the primary coastal corridor. Transport through this protected wilderness relies on a network of primitive and seasonal routes such as Cty Hwy 58 and the H-58 Seasonal Rd. The map illustrates the contemporary management of this lakefront environment, balancing public access via the Up89 Trl with the preservation of the Alger County coastline.
