2010 Map of Castle Danger

About this map

Lake Superior dominates the lower portion of this quadrangle, defining the shoreline of Lake County where the North Shore's dramatic geology meets the water. The small settlement of Castle Danger sits at the northeastern edge, while the inland community of Silver Creek is positioned near the western boundary. Significant coastal features like Lafayette Bluff and Silver Cliff rise above the water, framing the mouth of the Encampment River and the nearby Encampment Island. The transportation network is anchored by County Hwy-3 and several township roads, including Twp Hwy 32, which connect these lakeside outposts to the Weideman International Airport. This survey provides a clear view of the drainage patterns of Crow Creek as it moves toward the lake, illustrating the transition from the wooded interior to the rocky lakefront in the early 21st century.
