2011 Map of Gay OE E

About this map

Lake Superior dominates this nautical and coastal landscape in Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula, captured in a 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey. This specific quadrangle provides a specialized look at the open waters off the northern coast of Sherman Township, where the vast expanse of the Great Lakes meets the rugged Upper Peninsula. The map focuses almost entirely on the hydrography of the region, emphasizing the navigational context of this remote stretch of water rather than terrestrial settlements or infrastructure. It serves as a precise digital-era record of the shoreline and water boundaries as they existed during the early 21st century, prior to more recent shifts in lake levels and coastal mapping standards.
