1963 Map of Bear Island

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Bear Island dominates this mid-century survey of the northern reaches of the Apostle Islands in Lake Superior. The topography is defined by the steep elevation changes of the island's interior, contrasted against the expansive waters that separate it from nearby landmasses. Within the jurisdiction of La Pointe Twp, the island's perimeter is traced by simple trails, suggesting a landscape largely defined by wilderness or limited seasonal access rather than permanent development.
