About this map

The fruit-growing heritage of the Apostle Islands region is on full display in this detailed 2013 survey. A dense concentration of family farms and commercial orchards, including Rabideaux Orchard, Superior View Farm, and Blue Vista Farm, defines the landscape north and west of the harbor. These operations follow the local topography along the Lake Superior shoreline, benefiting from the lake's moderating effect on the climate.

The map covers the coastal stretch from Red Cliff down to Salmo, with the city of Bayfield serving as the central hub. Across the water, the western tip of Madeline Island is visible, featuring the settlements of La Pointe, Middleport, and the Madeline Island Airport. Local landmarks like the Bayfield Lookout Tower and Bayfield State Fish Hatchery provide a look at the area's infrastructure and conservation history, while the Dalrymple Campground highlights its role as a destination for outdoor recreation.
