2013 Map of Castle Danger

About this map

Lake Superior defines the dramatic southeastern boundary of this North Shore corridor, where the steep topography of the Arrowhead region meets the water. The settlement of Silver Creek serves as a central hub for a network of local roads including Co HWY 3 and TWP HWY 32, while the coastal community of Castle Danger sits near the northeastern edge of the sheet. Transportation is a primary theme of the landscape, anchored by the winding path of MN-61 as it skirts the shoreline and the presence of the Weideman International Airport. Significant natural landmarks include the prominent Silver Cliff and Lafayette Bluff, which overlook the lake near Encampment Island. The drainage of the upland terrain is marked by several watercourses, most notably the Encampment River and Crow Cr, illustrating the complex hydrology of Lake County before these waters reach the Great Lake.
