About this map

Lake Superior defines the maritime character of this region, where the mainland shore meets the protected waters of the Apostle Islands. The town of Bayfield serves as the primary hub, situated across the West Channel from Madeline Island. To the north, the community of Red Cliff sits along Buffalo Bay, while smaller settlements like Salmo and Pureair occupy the southern coast near Pikes Bay.

The map reveals a landscape shaped by both tourism and traditional residency, documenting the sprawling boundaries of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore alongside local landmarks like Major Gilbert Field and Evergreen Cem. Roads such as Co Hwy K and Co Hwy J thread through the hills, connecting the harbor towns to the interior. On Madeline Island, the historic settlement of La Pointe is detailed, showing its proximity to Point De Froid and the La Pointe Cem.
