2022 Map of Chequamegon Point

About this map

Chequamegon Point extends as a slender peninsula separating the open waters of Lake Superior from the sheltered expanse of Chequamegon Bay. This coastal environment is defined by an intricate network of wetlands and waterways, where the Kakagon River and Bad River meet the lake. The landscape transition between the sand-heavy features like Sand Cut Shoals and the marshy interiors of Kakagon Slough illustrates a dynamic riparian system. Navigation hazards and natural drainage patterns are clearly visible through the detailed mapping of various backwaters, including Wood Creek Slough and Sand Cut Slough. The lack of inland development on this sheet emphasizes the protected, aquatic nature of this coastal Wisconsin geography.
