2022 Map of Bear Island

USGS Topo · Published 2022

About this map

Bear Island dominates the southeastern quadrant of this maritime-focused survey, situated within the protected boundaries of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. The map documents a sparsely populated but ecologically significant portion of the Apostle Islands chain, emphasizing the land-water interface where the island's rising topography meets the vast expanse of Lake Superior. Submerged hazards for navigation are clearly delineated, including the expansive Bear Island Shoal to the west and the northern reaches of the York Island Shoals. A significant administrative boundary bisects the open waters, marking the line between Ashland and Bayfield Counties. This contemporary study captures the island's isolation and its status as a preserved natural landscape, devoid of modern road networks or urban development.
