2018 Map of Bark Bay

About this map

Herbster sits at the western edge of this coastal landscape where the waters of Lake Superior meet the Bayfield County shoreline. The terrain is defined by the prominent headlands of Bark Point and Roman Point, which shelter the shallow waters of Bark Bay and Siskiwit Bay respectively. Inland, the topography rises toward the southern boundary, where the Chequamegon National Forest encompasses a dense network of drainages including the Bark River and the headwaters of the E Fork Cranberry River. This era shows a well-established grid of local roads and family-named routes such as Makiewicz Rd and Swedlund Rd, which connect the lakeside community to rural landmarks like the Herbster Community Cem and the small Vietmeier Airport. To the east, Siskiwit Lake serves as a central feature before the landscape transitions into the forest and the winding path of the Siskiwit River.
