About this map

The dramatic shoreline of Lake Superior dominates this portion of Lake County, where steep terrain meets the water at Silver Cliff and Lafayette Bluff. The small settlement of Castle Danger sits at the northeastern edge of the sheet, while the community of Silver Creek is situated further inland near the Silver Creek Cemetery and the waters of the Encampment River. This area is defined by its coastal topography and the networks of local roads like Twp Rd 32 and Gun Club Rd that navigate the high elevations above the lake.

Transportation and utility are represented by the Weldeman International Airport and numerous local tracks such as Solitude Trl and Ridgeline Rd. The map details the transition from the lake's surface to the high bluffs, including the small outcrop of Encampment Island just offshore. These features provide a clear view of the North Shore's development and natural landforms in the early twenty-first century.
