2011 Map of Deer Yard Lake

About this map

The rocky northern shore of Lake Superior dominates this portion of Cook County, where the boreal landscape is defined by the descent of multiple waterways toward the Great Lake. The Cascade River and its accompanying Cascade Falls serve as major landmarks in the eastern section, while the interior is dotted with significant water bodies like Deer Yard Lake and several drainage systems including Indian Camp Creek and Spruce Creek. The infrastructure here reflects a managed forest environment, with the Cascade Lookout Tower positioned as a highpoint for observation above a network of timber and access routes such as Ward Lake Rd and Forest Rte 159. Along the coast, State Hwy 61 and Cascade Beach Rd trace the shoreline near Black Point, marking the primary corridor for travel through this wooded coastal region.
