About this map

Lake Superior dominates the eastern half of this survey, defining the shoreline of Lake County where the North Shore's dramatic geology is on full display. The settlement of Castle Danger sits near the northern edge, while the coastal elevation rises sharply at landmarks such as Lafayette Bluff and Silver Cliff. This terrain dictates the local infrastructure, with Hwy 3 and a network of township roads like Town Rd and Bunker Hill Rd navigating the ridges and valleys carved by Crow Cr and the Encampment River.

Aviation and recreation are represented by the inland Weideman International Airport and numerous smaller paths such as Solitude Trl and Ridgeline Rd. The map also captures the offshore presence of Encampment Island, a small but prominent feature just south of the Encampment River mouth. This record provides a clear view of the Silver Creek township area, showing the distribution of modern development against the backdrop of the rugged Minnesota shoreline.
