2018 Map of Bear Island
USGS Topo · Published 2018About this map
Apostle Islands National Lakeshore preserves the northern reaches of Wisconsin's archipelago in this 2018 survey. The map is centered on Bear Island, which dominates the southeast corner of the sheet with its topographic rises and shoreline. Surrounding the island, the deep waters of Lake Superior are marked by significant underwater hazards, including the Bear Island Shoal and York Island Shoals. A prominent county boundary line bisects the open water, demarcating the division between Bayfield and Ashland counties. This map provides a clear picture of the maritime geography and protected land management within the Apostle Islands at the time of the survey, focusing on the preservation of these isolated landmasses.
