About this map

Lake Superior serves as the focal point for this maritime landscape, where the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore protects the shoreline and offshore landforms. The port of Bayfield acts as a gateway to the islands, connected by the Madeline Island Ferry and Bayfield Ferry routes across the West Channel. On the mainland, the settlement of Red Cliff sits north of town, while Pureair and Salmo occupy the coast near Pikes Bay.

Genealogists can locate several local burial grounds including Evergreen Cem, Calvary Cem, and Saint Joseph Cem on Madeline Island. The map records a complex network of local roads such as Old Military Rd, Fire Tower Rd, and Old Sanitarium Rd, reflecting the region's development from early military and health-related infrastructure into a modern recreational hub centered around the Apostle Islands.
